An old lead mine situated on Scabby Cleugh (I'm sure Dunham invented some of these names!). The lead stopes were confined to working the veins in the Great Limestone and the gangue minerals included witherite and barytocalcite.
Dunham doesn't state what is present on the dumps, or, indeed, whether there are any dumps remaining.
