Coal trials (1816)

Geology
Silurian shales altered by igneous intrusion.

Workings
Workings are mentioned in Williams (1904) but these could not be located during the site visit. A small quarry on Castle Bank displays the favourable geology for a coal trial and it is possible that the quarrying destroyed earlier openworkings.

Transport

Power
