Site of old lead mine shafts & adits on the Level (aka Red) Vein. Given coordinates are labelled as a shaft on OS maps.
"The High Vein... It is parallel to Level Vein, and trends about 12° N. of W. The country-rock is red, felspathic gneiss. The vein, which is accompanied by a thin, basalt dyke, is about 3 ft. wide, hades to the south, and consists mainly of broken country-rock, with occasional thin strings and small cubes of galena. A small open-cast and a level have been driven short distances on the south side of the burn." [BGS Earthwise]
