Judging by the width, 2/3s of it is back filled, I need to wait until the trees bush out, it's too exposed to prying eyes right now. It's probably a mine slope or an air shaft, it all depends on whether or not there's railroad tracks inside.

That looks like fairly modern brick, it was most likely filled and entrance was covered by the brick youre looking at to prevent the structure from breaking down. Are you seriously going to break in there?

Just one brick to get a video camera and light in there. If air flows in or out its safe, no air movement, deadly.

We have sealed up old coal mines and ventilation shafts, some can actually go back to 1797.

This is why sledge hammers where invented. Looks like someone already had a go; I would dig down a little deeper to a wider spot that has been more exposed to the elements of the wet earth and then give it a good smashing. Take a tarp with you of course and tack it the wall above, spray it down real good with some glue and chuck leaves over it. Give you a little more time to really have a good look.

Or dig a hole in front big enough to hide you from ground level and spread the dirt out, then you can work kinda undetected. Take out a few bricks and use your 200 million watt light to check it out.

I worked at a bar in Hanford California that had a bricked up entrance to the old opium dens that went to the towns China Alley, a lot of the old businesses in Downtown had the tunnels linking them, cool to have seen history firsthand.I was always tempted to open it up and explore but never did.
