A small ancient tin mine on the south side of Cot valley. It worked a single lode that was opened up by an adit SW of Bosavern hamlet, and a shaft a little further south. The coordinates mark the position of the shaft, where an overgrown burrow remains in the corner of a field. The mine produced 1/4 ton of black tin in 1901.
