Mine (Coal), pre-1840.

Shaft to Alloa Cherry Coal (encountered at 14 fathoms [26m]) and a small-scale area of workings in the Alloa Splint Coal, contiguous with those of No.10 Pit [site #11145] & ultimately the more central Fly Pit to the SE. A roadway from the No.11 longwall workings led S to an air shaft [site #11147].

Alternative Names: None recorded.

Notes: No. 11 Pit with depth to A.CH coal marked on Geological Survey map.

The Alloa Splint coal is stratigraphically lower than the Cherry Coal, hence shaft depth will be marginally greater than 26m.

Hydrographic Feeds: None

Hydrographic Resurgences: None
