davew3 : From your description of the location, the concrete plinth is indeed the base of the platelayer's hut. Spent nights in there before the track was lifted. Used to go ferreting/shooting around there a lot at that time.

The plinth is made of roof type concrete, not base type though

Yes, that in the pic would appear to be a "roof". I thought the platelayers hut base was a different chunk.

Good Lord - I'm a pensioner and only 54 !
I agree - that looks like a roof - no evidence of anything ever been built / placed or bolted on top. A roof for what ?
