Estimated Grid Ref. Located north of Vogue Beloth, this mine was alternatively referred to as North Tincroft Mine and North Carn Brea Mine. It likely merged later with neighboring operations such as Wheals Maude and East Seton, forming what H.G. Dines termed as Robarts Mine. Remnants of the mine include a series of dumps along the west side of the valley, north of the road leading to Paynters Lane, as well as a shaft dump in a field slightly further west.
