What is recorded here

Elia Contact Mine (S) cuts through Modern rock beside Usk Castle in Monmouthshire. Whether it is a forgotten shaft or a hidden chamber remains unclear. The name suggests contact, as if the earth reached back. That much more is alive than a dead mine should be.

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Elia Contact Mine (S), Usk Castle as Mine from the Modern period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
