This area of dense woodland, to the west of Peel Glen Road, and to the south of the line of the Antonine Wall, is on what large-scale mapping describes as "Workings (disused)". The nature of the workings is not specified, but the first-edition OS map (surveyed in 1861) shows some structures nearby, labelled "Ironstone Pit". For other pictures taken nearby, showing signs of former quarrying, and the plant-life now growing there, see Image, Image and Image
