Hi Pete, that's a big shame there's not much info recorded.

Regarding the site itself, If I recall correctly the opencast went right around the site 360 degrees, and up to it real close. I wonder if it had a cemetery associated with it ? if so it will have been destroyed too.

Sometimes I wonder if opencasting is worth what we lose - the Widdrington-Chevington-Radcliffe areas may as well have been hit by some giant meteorite - it's an absolute sterile history-less place now. (apart from this little gem of course)
