Small copper mine, operated in conjunction with Wheal Clinton as Clinton and Pink United Mine, later incorporated into Wheal Gorland. Active from 1815 to 1850, it yielded moderate amounts of copper. The remnants of the site are indicated by two substantial dumps situated in the woodland to the north of Trefula Farm.
