This earthwork had been attached to a database record which encompasses a range of industrial earthwork features likely associated with Luscombe Mine to the east, within Luscombe Plantation. It is largely unclear, however, if this probable post-medieval to modern shaft or prospection pit is associated with this mine site, or perhaps with South Bedford to the west, and so has been recorded as a separate monument. A number of other such features are recorded within the immediate vicinity here.
