The area is marked by numerous large hushes and more recent ganister workings. Within these formations, plates of cockscomb baryte are common, along with well-formed galena cubes, some cerussite, and sharp quartz crystals found in the ganister workings. Additionally, pyromorphite, ranging from colorless to green and brown, occurs in attractive sprays, with crystals reaching lengths of about 6 mm.



1783-1785 Charles Sleigh, William Hoar & Charles Foster
