A small tin mine, located NW of Beersheba farm. Dines mentions a shaft (Brown's Shaft) with granite debris around it, and the 1877 Ordnance Survey map shows an engine house nearby, but both have now disappeared. All that remains is an overgrown burrow on the boundary between two fields. There are no records of output.
