There are several levels and tips on the northern hillside of the valley above the cottages. The main site of operations however is now partly overgrown by a dense woodland and the remainder has been cleared and put to grass. A small amount of the operation was based around the road at the bottom of the valley but this in turn has been repurposed though a few ruins remain.
The tips beside the public right of way are locally abundant for galena whilst sphalerite is spread troughout.
