Extensive area of small Stock works, Opencuts, Bell pits and shallow shafts. There are plenty of small spoil tips dotted around the hillside, much of which are overgrown, whilst other considerably less so. Large solid pieces of Pyromorphite can be found in some of the tips, whilst others can produce good specimens of Cerussite, much of which is seen to be morphing into Pyromorphite, whilst other tips contain large masses (often crystalline) of Barite, with with small cavities and inclusions of various Turquoise and Blue minerals.
