There is a Coal Houses on the North Broomhill to Acklington road, so perhaps there was a drift mine there? Maybe the airfield finished it off!
I think you might be right, the Acklington village website says it was at coal houses. If the Durham Mining Museum website has the coordinates correct then I am probably interpreting them incorrectly and ending up too far east.

The memorial roll on this website is an amazing piece of work.
It sure is, I occasionally send him photos of relevant headstones.
