Description (or HER record listing)

A belt or strip of coal workings is visible as earthworks on lidar imagery. They comprise adjacent and 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 can be traced for a distance of about 350m.
