An 18th century shaft is known to have existed on land of Copphall Tenement. Only one shaft site has been identified within this area at the edge of a field approximately 70 yards south of Molland Methodist Church. The shaft has been completely filled, but the tell-tale dip and hump profile often associated with former shaft sites was still discernible. Other details: Plan.

Dixon gives erroneous grid reference of SS812283. Ordnance Survey 6 inch (1903) map shows an unmarked circular mound at above grid reference, which corresponds with his description in relation to church.
