Summary
Earthworks of an irregularly shaped pit with an adjacent bank are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2010. They are interpreted as the remains of post-medieval or 19th century mine workings which had probably passed out of use by the late 19th century.

Earthworks of an irregularly shaped pit, 38m long by 20m wide, with an adjacent semi-circular bank, 18m long by 10m wide, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2010. The earthworks do not correspond with any features shown in this location on the late 19th century First Edition Ordnance Survey map or on later available historic maps.
Monument records of two shafts (MDV70358 & MDV70359) and an adit (MDV70360) in this vicinity support the interpretation that the earthworks represent the remains of post-medieval or 19th century mine workings which had probably passed out of use by the late 19th century. The earthworks are not visible on other available aerial imagery owing to thick tree cover.
