An old mine on "The Island" (St Ives Head), which was last active around 1822, but probably already worked much earlier. Its 7 fm level was driven 20 fms beneath the sea. St Ives Head consists of greenstones through which run several lodes, and traces of ancient mining can be found all along its northern shore.
