A large quarry now occupies the site of the mine. It used to intersect old underground workings and sulphide mineralization. There were sometimes large vugs up to a metre across but more commonly smaller less interesting calcite and dolomite lined vugs. Quarrying has now moved away from the mineralized area into unaltered limestone so good specimens are now scarce. In the 1990s a vertical pipe-like breccia filled structure was exposed. This seemed not to be related to the base metal mineralization but may have been a collapsed cavern. It yielded many fine calcites from the unstable, muddy material.
