Full Description
A good example of a deep but narrow opencut along a lead vein; hillocks within the belland yard were largely removed in the 20th century. This site may have been at work in the 1570s, then known as Catsall Rake, when waste material was being reworked using sieves and vats, the earliest documented example of this practice in the orefield.
