Former coal workings are visible as earthworks on lidar imagery. The remains comprise a belt or strip of adjacent, and sometimes overlapping, finger-like scoops cut into a shallow hillslope. The linear arrangement of these scoops results from following a coal seam along the contour, and each usually has a spoil heap at the open end. They follow the contour for about 300m in a north-south direction. They are shown as Old Coal Workings on the first edition Ordnance Survey 6-inch map, indicating they were already abandoned by the mid 19th century.
