Dump behind stone retaining-wall on north side of B6270 between Gunnerside village and Low Row.
The Friar Intake mine was worked on the north side of the River Swale between the hamlets of Gunnerside and Low Row. The mine consists of a level and several shafts which follow the course of the Friar Intake vein up the hillside. The low level was driven as a crosscut in 1876, reaching the vein after 400ft before continuing northwards for a further 1500ft. The higher workings, which consist of a series of shafts and bell pits, are thought to date back to the 17th century. Overall lead production was quite low and the mine was worked on a relatively small scale over the course of two centuries. Today the bell pits are largely grassed over but two large dumps from the main shaft and low level workings remain, along with the remains of two small buildings.
