Coal mining remains immediately north east of Horseditch House on Clee Hill is an ancient monument comprising surface features associated with coal extraction on the Shropshire coalfield. The site dates to the post-medieval period, reflecting the industrial exploitation of coal seams that characterised this region from the sixteenth century onwards. The remains consist of physical evidence of mining activity, likely including spoil heaps and surface disturbance typical of early coal working before the development of deep shaft mining on a larger scale. These features contribute to the archaeological record of early modern industrial activity in Shropshire and the exploitation of mineral resources in the upland areas of the county.
