Description
Trackway leading up slope from main mine workings, upslope of building NPRN 245,005 towards a small building, which may be an explosives magazine (NPRN 245,070). The lower portion of the track is clearly defined, where it is supported by a stone wall revetment. The revetment appears to be up to 2m high, but is largely obscured by tumble and bracken. The track, and evidence of the stone revetment peter out as the path climbs the hill slope.
