Description

[1] A large hillock, the centre of which has been removed, which marks the site of Castleton Shaft on Odin Vein. Below this were waste hillocks from this shaft and an adjacent one, Forest Shaft, a short distance to the west in Peak Forest Liberty. These hillocks were removed earlier this century. At least one of the boundary features of site 6 may be associated with the mine. These shafts were sunk in the 18th century when the western parts of Odin Vein were first discovered (Rieuwerts and Ford 1976).
