This small mound appears on old maps marked as a disused shaft. However, it is in fact the site of the chimney for a lost Pattinson plant, a process patented in 1833 for the extraction of silver from lead. The flue feeding the chimney is still visible but the rest of the plant was dismantled in 1968.
Alternate Names: None recorded.
