A large pumping wheel (f) comprised part of the machinery at Lady Bertha Mine prior to 1882-4. The wheelpit was backfilled following the abandonment of the site in 1899. The Ordnance Survey revision of 1906 shows the waterwheel to have been removed by this time leaving only the pit depicted as an earthwork.

This earthwork is associated with a single NMP database record which includes an additional two similar sized earthwork cut features. This particular earthwork, however, likely occupies a different function from these other two and so has been recorded independently. Only part of the photo reference is given in the transcription attributes, so the date of the photographs is not known.
