Within this area, 80 mine-shafts have been identified. These range from small bell-pits with little spoil to mine-shafts with machinery stances and massive spoil dumps. All but two of the mines were out of use by the publication of the 1st ed of the OS 25-inch map (Ayrshire, Sheet xxx.11, 1856 {survey date}). A total of 13 circular horse-engine platforms were recorded during the course of the survey, and all of these belong to the mines dating from the first half of the 19th century.
