* Old mine workings. What looks like a solid rock floor may be only a layer of stone debris covering a structure of ancient timbers which have spent the last two hundred years or so gradually rotting away to the point where the only reason they are still up is that they haven't fallen down yet.

This is why one should never enter such workings without the knowledge to identify such hazards in a non-destructive manner.
