Workings 14th September 1915 and 30th May 1916.
Plan dated 4th August 1916.
Situated on the Stocking Mound this mine had two shafts.
One on top of the mound 63 deep which was presumably the original ironstone mine shaft. This is traceable today as a depression in the ground. This was probably the escape and ventilation shaft.
The second was at the bottom of the mound and was 54 deep. This is visible today as a 66 diameter brick lined shaft filled to within 1 from the top.
The workings shown are small scale being less than 2 chains square.
A small building is shown near the footpath between Barnets Leasow Mound and the Stocking Mound. This may have been the site of the winding engine for the 54 shaft.
