This collapsed feature, which resembles a shaft, is not shown on mine plans nor abandoned mine sections. It may have been a later re-working , or collapsed earlier working, as it is on the course of the earlier gunnis. It is mainly choked at a depth of 2.5 metres below ground level, except that the eastern side is choked at a deeper depth of 4.5 metres. The feature is 1.5 by 1.5 metres in plan. There is a dilapidated post and wire strand barbed wire fence surrounding part of the shaft, which is sited just below an overgrown track (formerly a hedge line). Other details: Figure 18: site 26.
