2 lodes about 3 fms apart underlying at 12 degrees are crossed by a flat lode between 30 and 40 fathoms below surface were exploited on 2 shafts.
Recorded output from 1855-7 of 410 tons of 77% lead ore and 665 oz silver.
Dines H.G. 1956
Dines speculates that this mine lies on the Bere Peninsula eastern cross-course in common with South Tamar, Furzehill, Buttspill etc. But also notes that the only available plan is not oriented to north. On a map it sits equidistant between the western and eastern cross-courses. Given the nature of the lodes described by Dines and that none of the other mines on the Bere Peninsula record a flat lode it seems that this may be an independant lode system.
