An area now deep in woodland containing several parallel deep cuttings probably associated with local anthracite mining. A typical example of one of these cuttings would be approximately 1.8m deep and 3m wide. It was not possible to ascertain the total extent of these earthworks but they seem to survive in an area about 150m square centred on the grid reference. 35m above O.D.
