Small Building (10). A small 19th century mine building is historically recorded to the south-west of the Spoil Heaps, probably comprising a small store or shelter. There were no surface remains surviving, although a possible terrace was identified close to the likely location in the pasture field. The earthwork feature measured approximately 5m by 4m.
There were no masonry features surviving above ground, but basal layers and/or footings may survive below the ground surface. If present, it is likely that buried deposits will be in a stable condition, given that the field is maintained as pasture and not currently ploughed.
