This pit was at the end of the south west fork of the branch to the Drumshangie Colliery from Drumshangie Junction on the North Monkland Railway.
The pit was closed by 1910.
Much of the area has been opencast and although the junction site still exists the branch and colliery site is largely obliterated.
