Working in the 1820s when it appears that over £9000 of copper ore was raised, but stopped soon after to avoid litigation with a neighbouring landowner.
Some work in the adit occurred in 1842, but he sett then remained idle till 1860. Appears to have finally closed in the late 1860's, a proposed reopening in 1872 does not seem to have taken place.
