The location, close to the flow of Pittington Beck lies to the east of the Belmont district of Durham city. There's the remains of masonry in the foreground and out of view to the left is an amount of grassed-over mine spoil. The wooden-fenced enclosure is surely the site of a mineshaft, now capped of course.
