What is recorded here

In rough hill pasture, on upper S-facing upper slopes of Coad Mountain. Two shallow 19th-century drivings (5.3m E-W; 4.6m N-S; H 4.2m and 5.3m N-S; 4.8m E-W; H 3.5m) are excavated into the S face of an E-W rocky ridge displaying quartz veins. On the downslope to S are two spreads of quartz stones, the largest of which is c. 14m long.
