Mine
Possible association with Barlocco Barytes Mine.
Possible association with Thirl's Well (spring or adit).
The mill [ore crusher at Auchencairn Mine] was repurposed and continued in use into the 1960s dressing the barytes from the more successful Windmill mine along the coast to the west. [Coastwise, 2019]
Alternate Names: None recorded.
Notes: So far I have been unable to trace the source of references to Windmill Mine.
Coastwise perhaps mistakenly conflates Windmill Mine with Barlocco Barytyes Mine.
