The land is ring fenced and has been informally grazed by a local neighbouring farmer There is a small valley to the south east of the house which was formed by open cast mining for iron ore and other heavy metals. There is the remains of the Minehead building which was worked up until the 1980's. There is an area of ruined stone buildings to the North of the Minehead which was reported to have a number of dwellings, a pub and cobbled street.
