Hi everyone this is Matt again
I have figured out what that old building was back in the late 1800's it was a old sugar house for making maple sugar products
one of the days I was up there I cleared all the brush that was in my way and found more of them old bricks that say W.W. co on them
here is a lot better photos

Very Diligent work!
When you get a chance, look in all directions like anywhere from 3 to 20 yards away for some Slight discrepancy in terrain elevation. And see if any of the stones immersed may appear to be old markings
The elevation difference may be Barely Noticeable!! And may be smooth/ gradual slope. And that slope may be as narrow as just 4 or 5 feet ( up do downward...)
 
Research leads to provenance.
Good work.

Sap was collected from multiple trees and brought there.
Some areas had snow when spring preparations were being made as sap started with temps breaking freezing during the day at times.
Meaning drops were in snow sometimes if the region your site is in has such weather.
Spiles could be metal. Augers. Buckets perhaps. Though losing a bucket would mean more than just snow. l.o.l..
 
I'd hunt that entire area low and slow from a few different directions especially if there's a lot of iron in the ground.
With all that human activity, there should be a few nice keepers hiding out.
Good Luck !
