Help identify a small brick construct

Howdy, all. With the broad diversity of experiences on this board, I think somebody will know what these photos are.

We just bought a rural property. This is a new adventure for us, and not everything is self-explanatory.

The below pictures are of a small brick construct in the back yard area. I sort of wonder if it's supposed to be a barbecue pit or something but I would assume it should have more charring if that was the case.

Does anybody have a guess what this is?

Probably something the previous owner used to hide the fact that he buried a body there.

Looks like a BBQ minus the grill. Kinda close to the fence though.

That's my professional opinion anyway. [Dunno]

Or, it could be an ashtray.

Thought it was a kiln?

Looks like an old incinderator for burning trash.

My guess too. We had a similar one behind our house, except it had a bit of a chimney on it. It was supposedly for burning leaves and stuff.

Yup. common in certain neighborhoods.

I blew up an incinerator much like that one with some homemade gunpowder when I was MUCH younger. Reduced it to rubble, and got the attention of the Lakewood PD...
