(please provide details, if possible)

The whole area was overgrown with trees and shrubs and coppice trees making it difficult to detect the boundary between one ‘mine’ and another. Photo attached below. There was a considerable quantity of chalk debris.

Much of the area was also very wet with water flowing under railway bridge
