The Landranger map shows a spoil heap in this area which is waste from the old Rigfoot No1 Colliery. A site visit showed impressively large blocks of waste which show signs of having been molten. The origin of the fire is not clear, possibly accidental, possibly a means of clearing the site when the mine was closed.
