Located south of the road junction south of Lanescot, this small tin mine operated on an east-southeast-trending lode. It utilized a single shaft for extraction, positioned at the specified location, as well as an adit that was driven northward from the adjacent valley to the south. In 1873, the mine yielded a production of 1.5 tons of black tin. Presently, the site is occupied by a villa.
