Mining site is characterized by several small spoil heaps, likely waste from drainage adits. These workings extend along the valley floor to the bend of the new forestry track, where a small car park has been established through excavation of a significant quantity of spoil. Loose material from this spoil exhibits a heavy coating of dark brown iron oxide, and upon splitting, the lumps often reveal pyrite, chalcopyrite, and arsenopyrite in a dark grey to black sandstone/mudstone ground mass.
On the western hillside, several drainage adits and the shaft collar, which have run together, can be observed. Additionally, a few low walls of the engine house are present on the valley side above the shaft. Two lodes were worked to a depth of 150 fathoms, with production totaling 2300 tons of copper ore, as indicated by information provided on a board beside the shaft.
