Description
Marked as a quarry on the 1886 OS map but probably a coal mine originally, in the form of a cutting into a steep E-facing hillside, 15m deep and up to 5m wide, the base obscured by thick vegetation. There is a spoil tip on the downhill (E) side, on the opposite side of former tramway (NPRN535558). It is approx. 15m E-W x 8m and 4m high, with a flat top covered in turf and bracken.
