A drainage channel, originating from the northwest, runs beneath the Rhosesmor-Halkyn road and continues downhill in a southeast direction towards the former mine area.

In 1928, the mine became part of the Halkyn District United Mines sett, integrating it into a broader network of mining operations. The company used an underground diesel railway system.
