Shaft in the lands of Woodmuir, one of a group of Woodmuir - early pits (north)
An abandoned pit shaft to the Jewel Coal at 18 fathoms, marked of 1939 6" Geological Survey map. Not marked on the 1855 OS map, but shown as earthworks with a fenced off shaft on the 1895 edition. The earthwork now lies within forest and appears to have been flattened and planted across. The GS map shows a second shaft a little to the north west, but this is not marked on any OS map, and has left no traces on the ground.
