It appears to be a good enviroment for spiders, the largest segestria florentina we've found was probably a tad over 45mm but i had no chance of getting that to pose for the camera.
Its body greatly smaller then the pound coin and a pound coin is only 21mm in diameter so we can concluded that this spider is definitely under 20mm.
