Part of the Great Consolidated Mines group.
See main Great Conslidated Mines page for details of the group.
The sett lies between Wheal Fortune and Virgin and is very much alike those in that the area is for the most part a continuous zone of orange-brown ochre stained rubble rising up the hillside from the settling ponds to the crest of the hill. However along the crest of the hill there is more evidence of processing with extensive areas of crushed sand. A large shaft collar can be found at the top of the slope. Dec 2022
