Foxholes, Kilnsey

Continuing the WRPC compilation of details on every project since the last NC1 here?s an excerpt of details about Foxholes, Kilnsey by Richard Bendall.. ?Back in December 1999 Graham Huck and I went for a walk to check out an old site Hucky looked at back in his Craven days. Thought once to have been the home to vermin and issuing a strong draught my curiosity was aroused.

I followed Chris into the chamber. Panic struck! The squeeze below the arched roof was tight and required a fair chest compression. Once through, the ?chamber? that had looked so large and enticing, allowed for the minimal of head movement only. About 2.5m in diameter and floored with mud I began to create some breathing space and dug frantically at the floor..?

The full report is here: https://whiterosepotholeclub.wordpress.com/2018/01/02/foxholes-kilnsey-by-richard-bendall/
