Two large tips of soft, dark grey shale sit at the foot of the steep slope. Both have been used by off road vehicles and though the westerly tip has a shaft collar hard up against the foot of the slope any shaft at the other has been closed off. Slightly to the north-west is a further tip which has perhaps been levelled which contains paler shale, plentiful quartz and some goethite / limonite. A shaft collar a little northwards has been closed with a metal fence. May, 2021
