Description
Aerial photographs taken in 1961 and in 1978 show ridge and furrow in narrow strip fields cut by lead mining remains including shafts and a possible circular feature (horse gin?).
Reviewed (2026), ridge and furrow are still visible using both LiDAR and aerial photographs, and are in good condition considering the extensive mining operation.
