It sounds like you have an old piece of 4w connected,
What you describe as brown is probably an orange the convention was
Orange then Blue then Green then Brown.
Orange was the A leg of the line Blue was the B leg those are the only ones that usually carry the line. The green and brown where spare.

Are you sure this "box" was the master socket? The master is the one that is connected directly to the incoming phone line. Can you confirm that, and indicate what the incoming wires are attached to at present.From that master, there may be connecting wires to extension sockets. Are there other sockets?
