Creek discovery. Two structures at opposing ends of the bank. What are they?
I found these structures in a fairly inaccessible area of the creek. The oven like construction is made of bricks (which can be found around in the creek bed itself due to runoff) and mud for the seal (also probably from the creek). It also has some pieces of asphalt I think. It is located on the right hand side of the creek if you are walking upstream. The hole on the side makes it really look like it is meant for an oven. However, as you can verify, it remains unused.
Facing it, on the other side of the bank, lies another structure. It has a metal pole bent in an upside down U shape. And a series of stones forming a square whose two foremost corners meet the metal pole's two ends.
Any ideas what it is?

I've seen these or very similar pics before. Did you ask on another site?
I can't tell from the pix if there is mortar or just mud holding the stones together.
In a similar question it turned out there had been a bridge upstream that was taken out by either flood or ice dam. The materials were spread for several miles down stream. Some stonework was still intact in chunks.
The rebar I think is recent: Someone using a chunk as a convenient way to dry socks around the campfire. The rectangle of rocks looks much more ephemeral than the stone work in the other pix.
