Full Description
A mine adit in a deep hollow, cut to exploit the Ringinglow coal seam. The adit is still open and comprises a low tunnel cut in rock, which dips gently with the strata. There is no tramway running to it which may suggest it pre-dates the Cromford and High Peak Railway built in the late 1820's. (1)
