There was only one mineshaft recorded in the first field (NW).

A number of former mineshafts are recorded in second field (SE), but none are at locations where the survey shows any evidence of ground disturbance. It could be the case that a narrow shaft filled only with stone and clean topsoil taken from the immediate surroundings would not contain any magnetically contrasting fill, and so would not be detected in the survey, but the mine workings, if so, must have given rise to only minimal ground disturbances in comparison with the archaeological and agricultural activities at the site. An alternative possibility is that the mineshafts are at other locations, as suggested also in the first field. Two further magnetic anomalies of a kind which could indicated debris within or near to a former shaft. Individual and isolated pit-like magnetic anomalies could also perhaps indicate pits 1-2m in diameter, but these appear to continue earth rather than rubble fill, and are not associated with other nearby disturbances.
