These are a group of old, beehive-shaped coke ovens. At least seven are visible and they are arranged in tow lines. Others have been demolished. They were built, from brick, circa 1846. To the south of these ovens is a roofless, rectangular building. They were probably worked in association with Black Prince Colliery which operated between 1846 and 1933.
