An area of scrub is visible on aerial imagery, on the site of an 'Old Shaft' depicted on late-19th century mapping, and two rectilinear features depicted on modern mapping. A third (recorded separately as MDV125957) just to the north-west is very clear with sharp edges and more likely to be a Second World War bomb crater. The shafts have not been transcribed as they are not clearly visible on the aerial imagery.
