At the confluence of Little Eggleshope Beck and Candlesieve Sike, there are extensive dumps. Within these dumps, secondary minerals are prevalent in the joints of a sandstone matrix. However, the large cerussite twins found there are unfortunately very easily dislodged. Dumps recently ‘landscaped’.
