An overgrown dump marks its location in a field at the end of Cranberry road. Recorded output includes 1,770 tons of 10% copper ore and 2 tons of 63% lead ore containing 13 oz/ton of silver. Between 1835 and 1841, the mine operated alongside Park-an-Bowan Mine and Wheal Wellington under the collective name De Dunstanville Mines.
