Shaft marked on 1856 OS map, probably associated with Curdly ironstone workings and linked to the nearby chimney shaft, but possibly Levenseat Limestone Workings. Shaft site is buried below heathland to SE of opencast works.
Alternative Names: None recorded.
Notes: This pit is not shown on the abandonment plan for the Levenseat Limestone Workings, suggesting workings for this registry entry are restricted to the overlying ironstone.
