Foundation or ruin, sometimes the german language can help. Maybe Waltz used the word "Grundmauern". A word which has the first meaning "foundation", the walls in or with relation to the ground. But it has a common use and established term in relation with ruins too, because often the Gundmauern are the last viewable remains. Something can burn down to Grundmauern. Both english translations are not impossible.
A shot I took a few years ago, while remembering that particular clue.
Could have been this one, from the list I previously posted....."9) Near the head of the gulch is an old stone cabin foundation directly opposite the mine. (Mitchell)"
Just off to the side of a faint trail.....
If you are on that trail, you can't miss it.
And the entire ridge is quite "grassy".
"21) Above the mine was a grassy ridge where we could leave the animals. (Waltz)"
