Numerous shafts, adits and below ground voids are understood to underlie the site. The site boundaries are generally very steep, formed by the former quarry walls.

The depression is estimated (from remote surveying) to be 10-15m wide and approximately 6-8m deep. The scheme involves the remedial work for this collapsed mine shaft. The remedial solution adopted comprises the infilling of the existing depression with lightweight aggregates contained by a geotextile 'bag' and covering with a high-strength geogrid reinforced 'soft cap'.
