The NMP database record for these earthworks originally included three earthwork cut features of possible shafts. The western of these was clearly associated with a pumping wheel and so was recorded independently as MDV79890. The remaining two features occur in close proximity to, and possibly associated with, a shaft (MDV79891) depicted here on historic maps.
