I first thought that this was an old air-raid shelter. There certainly is an old air-raid shelter on Dodge Hill but according to an archived document http://web.archive.org/web/20150624115924/http://www.stockport.gov.uk:80/2013/2978/8803/9020/12299/dodgehillapp1 (see page 4), this was a man-made cavern used until the early part of the 19th century as a smithy.
