Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

On a hillock in grassland. During land reclamation in 1970 a bulldozer exposed an 'underground cavern', part of the roof of which collapsed under its weight. During an ensuing inspection all that was visible was a collapsed hollow containing a possible roof lintel c. 0.3m below the ground surface (SMR file). No visible surface trace survives.
