Tin mine that operated from 1852 to 1867. The mining area bordered Wheal Pollard to the south and encompassed nine lodes. Records indicate that between 1864 and 1867, the mine produced a total of 104 tons of black tin.

However, when attempts were made to rework the mine in 1880, no ores were extracted, indicating a lack of success in revitalizing production.
