Looks like a old root cellar or an old cistern or well. Is there water in there?

The large flat rock is set to trigger and fall closed so it acts like a door with poles holding it in place that had been driven into the ground.

Old root cellar I'm betting. I don't think it's a trap.

Ok I think we have a winner. Notice hole drilled in big flat rock and some guy that was there in 70's said there were trees/wood right in front of it.

The claw marks on that flat rock with the hole in it were a dead giveaway.
