A TEN feet deep hole has been dug by a public footpath at Lonsdale Quarry in Carnforth on an unofficial former landfill site.
The mystery hole has been coned off but police warned people to stay away until it is filled in.
PC Dave Lowe said: "Should somebody fall in they could be injured or even trapped."
He added the hole appeared to be dug by hand in a determined effort: "I hope it was worth it."
