When I was standing near the tree and shot the video I looked down and couldn't 
see any fruits on the ground. There was no sign of any fruits on the tree 
either.

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.
