Noted by Hutton in 1875, at the top of Crown Terrace. A shallow trench 40 feet long had been dug, although the state of the workings suggested much more shallow work occurred after. The reef strikes south-east, is 6-8 feet wide, dips vertically. Gold was seen in the quartz, but no crushing information was found.
