Lochend Pit No. 5 and bing is a coal extraction site located approximately 650 metres south-west of Lochend in Lanarkshire, Scotland. The site comprises a pit and associated spoil heap or bing, reflecting the industrial mining activity that characterised the region during the post-medieval period. Coal working in this area represents the exploitation of Lanarkshire's significant coal reserves, which became increasingly important from the eighteenth century onwards as demand for fuel and industrial feedstock grew. The physical remains visible today, including the pit depression and bing mound, constitute archaeological evidence of small-scale or localised coal extraction operations typical of rural mining landscapes in central Scotland.
