July 1992 note states:

nb at present, due to illegal tipping of toxic waste polluting the water and creating oxygen deficiency in the air, the first four mines are closed

The capped pithead lies about 80 yards south of Wetherall, on the east side of the Coleford–Clearwell Road. Although the main shaft is no longer open, a maze of old workings allows access to the bottom of the pit from crop holes located in a meadow around 200 yards to the west.

The mine was part of an extensive underground network. The deeper workings are thought to connect with Easter Iron Mine, while the outcrop levels interlink with several other nearby mines, including Old Ham, Lambsquay, New Dunn, and Clearwell.
