Lead silver mine.
Begun around 1811 'near a field called Deer Park on Treluddra Barton'. Run for most of it's life as a private venture with it's own lead smelting house. The peak year of production was 1821 when 952 tons of refined lead was produced with 36 696 oz of silver (silver value alone Β£10 494) at a rate of 35oz silver to the ton.
The mine closed in 1832, though dumps were reworked for the high quality ore that had been discarded at the peak of production.
But the mine was to live on in a sense as it had funded prospecting which had established trials at what was to become East Wheal Rose 'Cornwalls greatest lead mine.
Now part of the Lappa Valley railway tourist complex.
The grid reference marks East Wheal Rose farm, parts of which occupy the former count house.
