A small tin mine, located south of Gear Lane and east of Trythall farm. It was first mentioned in 1800, and was also working in 1847, but there are no records of output. The Ordnance Survey map of 1877 indicates an engine house ruin and two shafts, of which no traces are left today. Hamilton Jenkin notes that the shafts were backfilled in 1962. The grid reference marks the site of the engine house.
