Baryte mine worked sporadically since the early 19th century. The most substantial phase of mining occurred under the ownership of Milchem Ltd. from 1979 to it's closure in 1984.
There is much massive baryte with rotting pyrite to be seen around the site and below the road. An adit level can be found on the beach but is blocked after a distance of ~20m. All of the shafts are either capped or in-filled.
