Large sett. This old mining property, initially exploited for copper, was later revisited between 1860 and 1862, revealing the intersection of seven lodes during adit exploration, some of which contained tin. Despite subsequent prospecting efforts in 1912 and 1927, the mine remained dormant and was never reopened. No detailed mine plans or production records exist. Today, the site is identified by a solitary walled shaft and some burrows, situated north of the road leading from Mawla to Skinners Bottom, and the substantial, now-flooded, drainage adit in the valley.
