Default Birling Carrs tunnel

I noticed this horizontal tunnel 4 feet wide x 5 feet high presumably recently uncovered by the recent storms. It appears man made going back at least 5 metres. The entrance as can be seen from the photo is partly blocked by debris from above so I didn't go in, there is still a dangerous land slip potential from above, so don't go in !
Any ideas as to what it was?

There was a ww2 block house on the rocks round there ? There is also a small coal seam at that level exposed to the south 100 yards away. In addition, there is on the first photo, the remains of a large wooden pole embedded in the rocks is about 5 yards out from the entrance, it can just be seen on the general picture below
