The NMRS and SMR record that a shaft, annotated ‘Old Shaft’ and a spoil heap are both depicted on the 2nd Edition Ordnance Survey map. The shaft at NS 9139 5664 is recorded as an irregular depression, about 4 m long by 2 m broad, surrounded by a wire fence bearing warning notices. A large multi-facetted spoil tip stands in a forestry clearing at NS 9133 5665. The spoil tip is clearly visible on aerial photographs dating to between 1949 and 1988.

Field survey identified the spoil tip and shaft as previously recorded by the NMRS. The spoil tip measures approximately 100m by 90m and is up to 4m high.
