19th century trial for argentiferous galena. Consists of a series of 5 small adits on a hillside. Only adits 4 and 5 are still open.

Note that the above numbering scheme includes the separate, ochreous, adit level down by the stream which is relatively isolated from the main workings and not shown in the 1857 plan.

Irish grid ref. L 913 692.
