| | | They are just old little fort building, or Parks Canada wooden shelters covering runes, Nothing interesting. Today random fact: I got shits like 3 years checking these out and took a dump in the corner and had to sacrifice my socks.

And by "old little fort buildings" he means Parks Canada structures to cover decaying depression rangefinders. But it's all part of Practice Battery:
The Range Finder Bunker, part of Spion Kop at York Redoubt National Historic Site of Canada, is a reinforced concrete structure with a projecting eastern wing, chimney, and a sloping, corrugated metal roof with an open viewing slot. The building consists of two areas. One area houses a raised concrete platform and pedestal, which once supported the range finder, and the other area is a simple room of standard design. The Range Finder Bunker is part of Spion Kop, a pre-First World War fire command post constructed on a hillside approximately 350 meters southeast of the main York Redoubt, in an area that is now obscured by dense forest cover. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building. |

| | | There's a building slightly to the north of the Spion Kop buildings, I don't think I've ever seen it before. After you've rotated the Bing map right, it'll be to the right and down a bit.

| | | The unknown building is just another covered rangefinder like the others. It sits just beside the road, just as you are entering Spion Kop. I've missed it every time I've been to that area before, it's well hidden by the trees in the summer. It looks like this:
