My interpretation of this scene is that demolition and excavated material is dumped in the central pile and sorted into good pieces of stone on the right and crushed to make aggregate on the left. In the foreground is a line of tree-trunks, and out-of sight to the left a pile of logs, presumably for firewood. This area was previously covered in mill buildings, probably weaving sheds.
