Ancient Mine, Quarry or other Industry in Kent

From Exploring Kent's Past:

"Moseling's Hole is a well-preserved denehole some 300m N. of Mount Ararat Farm at TR 26324199. It is driven through clay with flints and consists of a shaft about 2.0m in diameter with a present depth of 11.5m at the bottom of which three chambers are visible. 11.0m to the NW. at TR26314201 a depression about 10.0m in diameter and 1.5m in depth probably marks the site of a collapsed denehole."

Re: Moseling's Hole Denehole by Anonymous on Saturday, 27 October 2012
This Denehole is named after James Moseling, an ancestor of mine who, having been missing from home for two days in September 1842, (having told his wife that he was going out to find work) was found dead in the hole. The Inquest records the following: "The Jury, after hearing the evidence, returned a verdict of 'Accidental Death'. Some nuts being found in the pockets of the deceased, and several Hazel-bushes growing at the edge of the pit, it is supposed he fell in accidentally."
Stephen Moseling, London
