This morning I was looking for slime moulds and overturned a large piece of dry, well-rotted apple tree bark to find this, almost black male spider. The bark had been on the ground. The spider had some token threads of silk over it and its body and head together were about 1cm long.

The last image shows it trying to hide in a small crevice, to avoid further flashes, to find a woodlouse already in residence.

I am far from sure as to the genus but nothing else fits and the habitat is exactly right.

EM-1, Kiron 105 at f16, twinf TTL flash, hand-held, with some substrate support.
