What is recorded here

A normally flooded trench in bedrock, 2m long by 0.6m wide at surface, gives access to a partially backfilled underground chamber approximately 2m high by 2m wide by 3.6m plus long. When flooded, the trench has the appearance of a peaty pool, completely concealing the workings. The spoil heap, roughly 20m square in area contains numerous examples of broken stone mining mauls. There is no obvious copper mineralisation present. Compiled by: Alastair Lings Date of upload: 30 July 2015
