A mine situated north of the village of Seworgan. However, according to Hamilton Jenkin, the mine held no significant importance, essentially existing only in name. It was established around 1868, with two shallow shafts sunk to depths of 20 and 22 fathoms, respectively. However, the lode was discovered to be too poor in mineral content to be economically viable for extraction. Therefore, despite its establishment, the mine did not contribute substantially to the mining industry.
