Description

The structure consists of a line of circular ventilation shaft enclosures and sighting pillars located on the slopes of Tom Ard, dating from the mid-19th century.

The enclosures, built around 1856, are seven circular structures made of random rubble, standing between 10 and 14 feet high. They are constructed from whinstone and feature rounded coping stones, with flat security covers on top. These enclosures are situated at various locations, including NN 4203 / 0884, 4197 / 0872, 4190 / 0859, 4185 / 0850, 4181 / 0841, 4165 / 0812, and 4156 / 0794.

The sighting pillars, built around 1885, consist of three square-plan pillars topped with pyramidal caps, made from rubble masonry. These are located at NN 4185 / 0854, 4175 / 0836, and 4162 / 0809.

Additionally, there is a summit pillar, also constructed around 1856, which is a rectangular pillar made of rubble masonry and stands approximately 20 feet high. This pillar can be found at NN 4176 / 0833.
