A small mine north of Vogue Beloth. It was also known as North Tincroft Mine and North Carn Brea Mine, and was probably later amalgamated with the neighbouring Wheals Maude and East Seton, an operation referred to by H.G. Dines as Robarts Mine. The remains include a line of dumps along the west side of the valley, north of the road leading to Paynters Lane, and a shaft dump in a field a little further west.
