Barry, all; The leaves do not look like they are within the range of variation for chinkapin; the length to width ratio is too high, and the leaves to acuminate (long pointed) to be chinkapin. The tree does look odd for American chestnut, but I've never seen chestnut on a site like that. European sweet chestnut and chinese chestnut seem like possibilities too. Hard to tell without clearer images or info on the fruits and hairiness of the leaves.
