Several shafts located in the woodlands to the north of Lloc at SJ 1410 7750, SJ 1420 7750, and further south at SJ 1430 7730, generally surrounded by spoil mounds. Additional shafts are recorded at SJ 14092 77472, SJ 14160 77431, SJ 14195 77415, and SJ 14137 77337.

A limekiln is shown on early Ordnance Survey maps at SJ 14073 77308, but there are said to be no visible remains today.



Lead and silver mine was worked in the early 19th century. There are no recorded returns for the mine after 1855, and according to Smith (1921), it was drowned out in 1844.
