Bucklers mine, subsequently incorporated into Charlestown United, was active in 1652 and probably very much earlier (Hamilton Jenkin 1967)
The location is now a residential caravan park. The Cornish Mining World Heritage Site Interactive Mapping shows Bethel Mine (SX039529), which appears to be unmentioned elsewhere, at this location and West Wh Eliza (SX038528) very close by.
Dines (1956) records tin and copper mined from the sett, but that there are no records indicating that the iron ore that occurred here was worked.
