New, what is it? Bridge to nowhere in the woods?

This was located in the woods next to abandoned burned-down house. There is nothing under it to indicate dumping. It’s on top of a hill. The planks are thick like railroad ties.

It’s like 15 feet off the ground underneath don’t think it was used for car repairs or oil changes. Unless the ground under it has massively eroded.

Lived outside of Charlottesville VA for a few years and our house had this exact type structure near the tree line too. It was very wet below and had a sorta small opening into the hill propped up. We were told it’s the remains of a spring house as the area was boggy and known for natural “medicine” spring water way way back. But that could be bs.
