Trevor,
The morphology of the workings strongly suggests firesetting but
clearance of the workings in the 18th century and later has removed
the wood/charcoal which might have dated the feature(s) - that's the
bit that is missing but could turn up as further sections of the
workings are accessed.
I'll send you an image off-list.
