Located on an ENE-trending lode, this small trial mine was accessed from a shaft approximately 500 yards northeast of Bolenowe Methodist Chapel. Primarily extracting pyrite, there are no documented records of output. The burrow of the shaft still exists in a field north of Forest Farm, alternatively known as Wheal Forest.
