Coal mining remains immediately north east of Horseditch House on Clee Hill is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the physical evidence of coal extraction activity on the Clee Hill coalfield. The site dates from the post-medieval period, reflecting the exploitation of Shropshire's coal resources during the early modern era when surface and shallow mining became established across the hill. The remains consist of surface features associated with historic coal working, including pits and associated disturbances to the landscape that document the industrial heritage of the area. These coal mining features are of archaeological significance as evidence of the regional coal industry's development and the methods employed in extracting coal from this accessible coalfield prior to deep mining operations.
