Mine (Fireclay, & Cement?).

Moderate-scale fireclay workings in Glenboig Fireclay & Cement Fireclay seams. Adit appears to be buried below rear garden of a property along Haldon Grove. Subsurface workings are limited to areas located N to SE of Glenboig Farm as a 'barrier zone' separated these workings from those of the Star Pit to the W.
