Description
One of these has a pair of adjoining spoilheaps; their relationship is unclear. The one directly outside the adit is the smaller and less prominent of the two, measuring 6.0m across and 0.6m high. Although it is turf covered there are some large stones protruding from the front of it. The other platform does not have an even top but has a ridge running around its outer edge. The spoilheap is 8.4m wide and 0.6m high. The adit is 2.9m wide and between 0.6m and 1.0m deep (Lax, A. 1995).
