We have sometimes discovered mysteries in the woods like this one. It’s a man-made stone structure that has vertical chambers. Maybe an old furnace or kiln. I don’t believe there were any iron furnaces in Ohio where this is located. There are no other structures in the area. What could it have been used for….

    These are kilns used to bake limestone to make quicklime. I think I know where they are by the quarry. don't know what was used to heat the kilns. maybe coal
