A mine which produced considerable quantities of copper ore. Two lodes were worked which crop out in the cliffs, marked by old dumps on the golf course. Reputed to have raised over 70,000 tons copper ore before 1830 from a shallow depth but only small amounts at later dates with some lead. Closed 1881.
