Workings on 5 levels. A long adit near a bend on the minor road leads to stopes and passages. A 100’ shaft from the upper level enters the stope. Higher up the hillside above farmhouse are other stopes and shafts. Other levels are present in this area. Shafts have been bolted, ropes (some in bad condition) installed on a traverse and a small bridge across a stope.
