Not volcanic A coal spoil heap rises above the greenery. Midsomer Norton and Radstock  were important coalmining areas from the late 18th century, and production gradually increased with time up to 1900. However, the complicated local geology and nationalisation eventually led to the closure of all mining in September 1973.

The heap is actually a SSSI and contains some interesting fossils, including the world's earliest known damselfly!
