The bell pits and inclined plane located 130 metres south-south-west of Cleugh House in Lanarkshire, Scotland are industrial remains dating to the coal mining period. Bell pits are shallow, bell-shaped mine shafts characteristic of early coal extraction methods, typically sunk to relatively shallow depths before the adoption of deeper shaft mining technology. The associated inclined plane represents later developments in mining infrastructure, used to transport coal or minerals down sloping ground. Together these features constitute evidence of the transition in Scottish mining practices and the industrial activity that shaped the Lanarkshire landscape during the development of its coal industry.
