A colliery spoil heap — the pit-waste mounds that scar the Black Country.
Definitions
A pit mound — the spoil heap of waste rock and clay tipped out of a coal mine. 'Tocky' is the rocky muck from the shaft, 'bonk' is a bank. Stick them together and you get the lumpy black hills that still finger the Black Country landscape long after the pits closed.
