Surface working with pillar and stall underground at the Eastern side. Site has an active gun range in the middle and no attempt should be made to use the entrances from there. Some dumping and backfilling, some spalled roof.
A single wooden crane remains in good condition underground.
Local library & Archive has an abandonement plan, though the workings aren’t extensive and are easy to navigate.
