Mine offices and chimney: A very linear complex of buildings and mine workings. The mine consists of a pit at the NW extremity, a low quarried face extending to the SE with a short adit (about 1.5m deep x 2m high) cut into it. The buildings which lie immediately in front of this face consist of 5 main compartments or rooms. At the NW is a house showing graphically, evidence of enlargement, with chimney stack part of its gable end. The rest of the range were probably stores. Between this site and the chimney is a further small pit (a shaft is marked at this site on the map of the area in Greenly). Overall the buildings occupy an area 28m x 5m., the pits extending somewhat further to the NW and SE. 25m above O.D.

This site has been monitored as part of the CHERISH project, due to being at risk from erosion exacerbated by climate change. CHERISH (Climate, Heritage and Environments of Reefs, Islands and Headlands) is an EU-funded Wales-Ireland project (2017-2022) led by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales, in partnership with the Discovery Programme: Centre for Archaeology and Innovation Ireland, Aberystwyth University: Department of Geography and Earth Sciences and Geological Survey, Ireland. Work included aerial survey in 2016 and photographic survey in 2018.
