Concreting a small awkward shape

we’ve got a side alleyway that opens wider at an angle. At present 90cm is concreted as pathway, and there’s a small triangle shape that’s currently mud. Approx 3m long x 0.8m depth (depth as in from path to fence). We’d like to concrete it. As it’s an uneven shape, and has a couple of concrete fence posts along one side of it, hows best to concrete it over? Was going to dig down about 8”, then fill 4” with type 1 hardcore then the top 4” with concrete. Would that work?
Also, where we dig it out, we can’t get any wood into the hole to create a barrier or edging for the type 1 and concrete, so it’ll just sit against the existing mud. Is that ok?
