These features were formerly part of Nun's Cross Mine, a tin mine which began exploratory work in 1862. This work stopped before the end of 1864 with no recorded production.

(23/01/1995) The remains of three mine shafts 20m S of the boundary wall of Nun's Cross Farm are centred at SX 60506982. They are now backfilled and appear as roughly circular mounds with a central setting of stones, perhaps marking the middle of the shaft. The largest is 15m in diameter and 1m high.
