Summary of Surviving Remains: The line of the tramway is discernable throughout much of its course as a series of engineered platforms, slight embankments and cuttings. There are, however, a series of well defined and well preserved embankments between Cragg quarry and Cloughfold Scrubbing Mill and a deep drystone revetted cutting. There is also a probable winding house and platform close to Ding quarry, two degraded structures , a series of crane platforms and processing areas adjacent to Great Height quarry and a well defined tramway incline running from Cloughfold Scrubbing Mill to Cloughfold.
