Worked an extension of the Gorlan Lode which swings to an E-W alignment (from SE-NW) in this sett.
These mines are to the south of an area of fine spoil - the Wiloughby Dressing Floor to the south of the Cyffty to Geirionydd Road. The most prominent entrance is the square sectioned, large bore Bwlch y Groes shaft which was sunk about 60’ onto the Silver Lead Lode. There are other surface workings and small shafts on this lode. The Loveridge Level which is still open was driven southwards to intercept this lode.
Thought to be an old mine.
