The first two photos show the marks on the stone inside an abandoned 19th century iron furnace. The full album with additional photos that make more sense is online at:

Other shots from the trip, something like 800 or so photos, are online here:

in the 13 albums going from Ruffner #1 (an iron mine) to Limestone Furnace.
