A very spread heap of spoil with a well defined hollow in its centre, measures 4.5 metres in diameter and is 0.5 metres deep. The use of pillar-and-stall mining (cutting horizontal headings out of the bottom of the shaft, leaving pillars of coal to support the roof) meant shafts could be spaced wider apart. The best example of a widely spaced grid pattern of shafts on the Town Moor is on Nuns Moor, where four shaft heads form a square pattern. These shaft heads have larger spoil heaps than the Bell Pits, indicating deeper shafts and a later mining episode. A diagnostic feature of the landscape indicating pillar-and-stall mining is the subsidence of the surrounding ground surface, due to the caving in of the galleries especially after the removal of the roof supports. Such areas of mining subsidence effect large areas of the Moor.

An amorphous raised mound measuring 30 metres by 22 metres with a central depression which is 10 metres in diameter and 1 metres deep. There are traces of coal in surrounding rabbit scrapes. The use of pillar-and-stall mining (cutting horizontal headings out of the bottom of the shaft, leaving pillars of coal to support the roof) meant shafts could be spaced wider apart.

A much flattened ring-bank obvious on the aerial photograph transcription but much disturbed on the ground, possibly filled in by green keeper. The use of pillar-and-stall mining (cutting horizontal headings out of the bottom of the shaft, leaving pillars of coal to support the roof) meant shafts could be spaced wider apart.

A ring-bank 24 metres in diameter with the bank measuring 6.4 metres wide and up to 0.8 metres high; the central hollow is 9.6 metres in diameter and 1.7 metres deep. The use of pillar-and-stall mining (cutting horizontal headings out of the bottom of the shaft, leaving pillars of coal to support the roof) meant shafts could be spaced wider apart. The best example of a widely spaced grid pattern of shafts on the Town Moor is on Nuns Moor, where four shaft heads form a square pattern.

Such areas of mining subsidence effect large areas of the Moor.

A ring-bank 19 metres in diameter dug into a slight slope, giving rise to an apron scarp measuring up to 1 metres high. The use of pillar-and-stall mining (cutting horizontal headings out of the bottom of the shaft, leaving pillars of coal to support the roof) meant shafts could be spaced wider apart. The best example of a widely spaced grid pattern of shafts on the Town Moor is on Nuns Moor, where four shaft heads form a square pattern. These shaft heads have larger spoil heaps than the Bell Pits, indicating deeper shafts and a later mining episode. A diagnostic feature of the landscape indicating pillar-and-stall mining is the subsidence of the surrounding ground surface, due to the caving in of the galleries especially after the removal of the roof supports. Such areas of mining subsidence effect large areas of the Moor.

A large well formed ring-bank 23 metres in diameter and measuring 9.5 metres wide and up to 1 metres high; the central hollow is 11.2 metres in diameter and 0.6 metres deep. The use of pillar-and-stall mining (cutting horizontal headings out of the bottom of the shaft, leaving pillars of coal to support the roof) meant shafts could be spaced wider apart. The best example of a widely spaced grid pattern of shafts on the Town Moor is on Nuns Moor, where four shaft heads form a square pattern.

Such areas of mining subsidence effect large areas of the Moor.

A much flattened ring-bank measuring 22 metres in diameter surrounds a central hollow. The feature is on the boundary of the motorway corridor and has been damaged by subsequent landscaping. However, its form and position support its interpretation as a mining feature. The use of pillar-and-stall mining (cutting horizontal headings out of the bottom of the shaft, leaving pillars of coal to support the roof) meant shafts could be spaced wider apart. The best example of a widely spaced grid pattern of shafts on the Town Moor is on Nuns Moor, where four shaft heads form a square pattern.

A ring-bank measuring 17.1 metres in diameter and 1 metres high surrounds a central hollow. The feature is damaged on the south side by what appears to be the ridge-and-furrow overlying it. This may be due to later drainage down the centre of the furrows rather than the ridge-and-furrow post-dating the feature.

At the extreme northern end of Duke's Moor is a circular ring-bank 17.9 metres in diameter surrounding a central hollow measuring 7.8 metres in diameter, the surrounding bank reaches a height of 0.6 metres.

A large ring-bank of spoil standing up to 0.9 metres high surrounds a hollow, measuring 5 metres by 3 metres across. Again the ridge-and-furrow seems to overlie the feature.
