Fluorspar workings, presumably on the Slitt Vein, on the eastern side of Park Burn between Rigg Mine and the margins of Heights Quarry.
The 1:10000 Arial Photo of this site is interesting - the course of the Slitt Vein can be clearly seen passing through the Slitt Pasture, West Rigg, Rigg and Park Burn workings, across the front of Heights Quarry and along the northern side of Weardale above the site of Cambokeels Mine (from where it was also, of course, worked).
