Series of workings (opencuts, bell pits and shallow shafts) for copper trending along the hill summit.
The main open cut extends about 100m roughly east-west along the hilltop but may have been partly backfilled. There is only 1 open shaft. there are several tips producing chalcopyrite and galena and secondary minerals of coper and lead, but the principals: copper and lead do not much appear to overlap in the tips possibly indicating work on different lodes.
