Flooded pit, incline and barracks.**

Waste tipped across the road to the north.Said to have had 3 waterwheels, and sluice at SH 4918 5229 may support this.



Intermittent working - the tonnage of 1,000 with 40 men at work in 1873 probably a peak. 11 mean at work in 1938, then some very small scale working after WW2/



Public footpath gives access to good viewpoint from the south.
