A roughly circular pit circa 10m in diameter is visible on aerial photographs of 1946 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017 as an earthwork on Bottle Hill.
The visible earthworks correspond with a small square structure depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1880s First Edition 25inch map and annotated as ‘Shaft’. The earthwork is therefore interpreted as the remains of a mine shaft of post-medieval to 19th century date, most likely part of Bottle Hill Mine.
