A vast pile of rubble to one side of a field represents the site of the former Castle Park Colliery. This was finally filled in sometime around 1950 though it was abandoned much earlier. It consists now of some spoil with various lengths and corners of mortared masonry as well a what appears to be the top of the pit head, visible as a semicircle of stone on the N side about 2.5m in diameter. Further details impossible to discern at present due to scrub growth. Overall about 27m x 15m and about 5m high. 75m above O.D.
