MACCLESFIELD REEF MINE - Heritage Inventory Description
/nThe central point of this site is the main shaft. The shaft is open and in sound condition. It is 3.0 by 1.1 m. There are two mullock heaps near the shaft. The one north of the shaft is 6 m by 7 m by 2 m high. The other mullock is west of the shaft. It is intact and conical in shape, measuring 5 m high and 15 m in diameter. The south end of a north-south open-cut is situated 30 m east of the shaft. It runs north for a distance of 35 m, is between 1.0 and 2.0 m wide and approximately 1.5 to 2.0 m deep. The open-cut opens out into what appear to be collapsed shafts. There is another deep shaft 20 m further north-east. This shaft is 1.98 m by 1.12 m, and is surrounded by a mullock heap which is approximately 12 m in diameter. 25 m south of the main shaft is a large area which has been levelled by excavating into the natural slope. The levelled area must have been the site of several buildings or one large building containing several machines. This area is 20 m by 15 m. It has several lines of post holes, some trenching, raised sections and depressions, and there is one holding down bolt in one of the depressions. There is no sign of any treatment plant at this site. This site appears to date from earlier this century, and an archaeological investigations is required to document the site and help understand how it operated.
