This lost site was mentioned in a letter from Professor Tratman dated 31.03.1958 and held in the UBSS library. An old mineshaft at the western end of a line of buddles reached an active streamway. It is not known for certain that this is the site described but it appears to be the one that best fits the description.

Alternate Names: None recorded.
