Details of Event
Deceased and another labourer were engaged on the top of the rock filling a barrow with clay to wheel it the tip when a 'gavel’ of tirring suddenly fell and he was fatally crushed. Attempts had been made to draw the gavel nside on top of the rock earlier in the day but without success.
