A continuation of the Goginan Lode on higher ground. Location of features tentative in Bick. Adit probably at SN 694 820. Crosscut possibly marked by spring in field a SN 697 821. Grassed over tips opposite Goginan Fach probably indicate the shafts.

| c1600 | Shaft sunk during Hugh Myddleton’s time. Said by William Waller, about 100 years later to be ‘18 yds deep with a firm rib of ore 18inches wide’. |
| 1700 | Waller starts deep level 30m below old workings. |
| 1708 | By this year, no ore had been raised. |
| 1850s | The Taylors deepened the shaft to intersect with the Goginan Adit that they wre also driving at 105 fm below surface, recovering a lot of ore in the process. They also extended the adit to a new Boundary Shaft that was sunk at the Bwlch Boundary, but they were never connected. |
