Description
I could not find this mine when I was there BUT, where I was stood, there appears to be a HUGE mound of spoil (now grassed). I was stood halfway up the bank of a hill above what appeared to be the main spoil heap.
However, when I walked away and looked backwards, I could see spoil heaps “walking†up the hill which suggested clearly there were other entrances (or that these WERE the entrances). I did not go back because of time constraints.
This may not be the most helpful description I have posted.
