Little is known of this shaft. Its location is shown on a plan provided by Cornwall Consultants for a property search at a nearby house. It was catalogued as Shaft 2262 by the Oxford Archaelogists involved in the Finished Labour of a Thousand Hands: The Archaeology of the Combe Down Stone Mines project. It is not shown on the 25 inch Ordnance Survey maps of 1873-1888 (South West England) or of 1892-1914.
The shaft is now lost under the patio at the rear of the Combe Down Surgery.
Alternative Names: Combe Down Quarries, Combe Down Quarry, Firs Quarry, Firs Mine, 2262
