Details of Event
Deceased was filling out stones at the bottom of the quarry when some, weighing about a ton, fell from the top, a distance of 70 feet. He attempted to get clear, but failed to do so, and was hit by the stone and killed. The stone fell from a joint which was hidden by the turf above it.
