Large spoil heap indicates the location of More Shaft, which was sunk as a trial between the wars and has now completely collapsed. To the northeast lies the silted-up entrance of a stone-arched adit with a long spoil tip, likely used to drain the workings. This adit was open in 1964 and found to be filled with thick grey mud up to 30 inches from the roof, and it was not fully explored. An air shaft to the southeast, across the track, has also collapsed.
