The lead mines and limekiln 590 metres south east of Johnson Lane Farm is a scheduled ancient monument comprising multiple mining features within the Derbyshire lead mining landscape. The site encompasses several named lead mine workings—Magpie, Dirty Red Soil, Maypit, Horsesteps, and Great Red Soil—alongside an associated limekiln, representing the industrial exploitation of mineral resources over an extended period. The lead mines exemplify the extractive industries that characterised the Peak District from the medieval period onwards, with evidence of both surface and underground working. The inclusion of a limekiln indicates broader industrial activity at the site, as lime production often complemented lead mining operations in this region.
