The former winding shaft, shown on 1867 Bedford Consols lode/shaft map as 'filled', measures 2.5 metres by 3 metres and is within a shallow depression 0.4 metres deep. It is located in an area covered by mine waste rubble and has a banked area of rubble on its east side. A fence runs parallel to the track along the shaft's south side, and there appears to be no movement to the shaft fill. There is a horse Whim immediately to the west. Other details: Figures 5-6, 35, site 13.
