Crow Trees Colliery, Quarrington (Quarrington Hill)
These are the remains of colliery buildings at Crow Trees colliery.
Two post medieval collieries and a post medieval quarry are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs, centred at NZ 331 370. The three features are conjoined and cover an area of approximately 155 hectares. They have destroyed some post medieval ridge and furrow. On later photography the central colliery has been levelled but the southernmost colliery and the quarry survive as earthworks.
