The whim platform on the north side of the shaft has an associated whim or melior stone (like shaft 5). There would have been a horizontal circular drum of timber rotating on this central pivot. The melior stone is 0.7 metres long by 0.6 metres wide and the hole is 9 centimetres in diameter and 8 centimetres deep.
