The surface works extend along the clifftop between the cliff edge and road centred around the old airfield now used by a glider club. To the north of the airfield the workings are extensive with shafts, dumps and remains of early processing works. The 1940's works are on the point of cligga head itself. Just north-east of the greissen-sheet vein stockworks, and on the same level as those, is an extensive dump packed full of arsenopyrite, wolframite, iron & copper minerals. To the south on the glider club the works on the clifftop are less extensive, confined really to a few shaft collars.
The mine itself can be accessed from the sea cave at beach level, though there are other old mens works all over the cliff face you need to be properly rigged to reach them.
