Desk Based Assessment (18 March 2019 - 1 April 2019)
The asset consists of the former location of a Coal Pit that is first depicted and annotated on the Ordnance Survey map of 1859, and is shown comprising of a rectangular structure set within a large enclosure and accompanied with a rail line connected to the Ballochney Railway. Having a connection to the main rail line in the area may have been beneficial for the facility, for mined and quarried materials being transported on to where they were most needed. From cartographic evidence, by 1897 the pit no longer existed and its place stood the Rawyards Brickworks (HA10).
