NEHL - A coal shaft is illustrated in this location on the "Plan of Killingworth Moor in the Parish of Longbenton" by John Fryer, 1792. It is one of around a dozen dotted around the Willington and Benton Square waggonways on land owned by the Earl of Carlisle.

It was located around 100m north of Scafford Hill Quarry and the same distance east of the Great Lime Road. It featured a small rectangular building on its immediate left, and was the most central shaft in a circular pattern of half a dozen in the field owned by the Earl of Carlisle.
