Small pit. Mostly cleared.*
Bulk removal has cleared most of the original waste tips and the main pit has been infilled. A short section at the head of the haulage incline still survives, together with a few concrete machine bases from the 1930s.
Largest of several small pits in the area and worked mainly in the 1870s and 1880s, using a table incline that began as a water-balance system and was probably later converted to steam winding. It was revived in the 1890s with a new mill powered by an internal combustion engine, then saw a short final phase in the 1930s when sawing took place in a temporary shed, before closing for good in 1935.
