Field Visit (14 July 1992)
NS86SW 61 8149 6098.
In an improved field 500m S of Goodockhill farmsteading there are the remains of a mine, consisting of a bing, a hollow (2m in depth and 7m in diameter), probably marking the top of the shaft, and two further hollows. A tramway runs SW from the probable pithead to join a track or tramway which passes the site on the W. This track then runs SE towards the tile works at Little Hareshaw (NS 86 SW 63.00).
The site is depicted as an 'Old Coal Pit' on the 2nd edition of the OS 6-inch map (Lanarkshire 1899, sheet xii).
