Save me a walk up a hill

[AndyF]

Just looking at my new Dark Peak 25000 map, I see there are a bunch of shake holes marked at 073 845, and some springs at 074 838

I don't know of any caves in that area, anybody ever looked at this area. I'd go over and have a look, but perhaps I can save a trip if there is any info on this area...

No nothing but peat bog and sheep, the cowburn tunnel air shaft is pretty impressive though about 800ft deep

Yup - aint no limestone under there - grit and shale.

Well thats what I thought... but the OS clearly says "Shake Holes"...

OS maps sometimes refer to mine shaft collapses as Shake Holes soI'm a bit puzzled..

The aerial photo below certainly looks like shake holes OR a shallow mine rake...
