Description (or HER record listing)

This is the site of a coal shaft. It is likely that this was a small bell pit or ventilation shaft. These shafts could be interchangeable - of access shafts were frequently maintained as air shafts. This allowed the ventilation of the workings without the buildup of the dangerous gas methane.
