Site of a shaft shown on 19C maps at Wheal Anna Maria mine. It is shown as 'Filled' on a Shafts/Lodes Plan of 1867 but the more detailed map of 1867 shows the shaft with two small associated buildings. The survey found the shaft marked by a depression 1m deep with a granite marker post. A spoil mound c4m high on the western side which may have supported a horsewhim platform. Remnants of the long building to the northeast of the shaft survived up to 0.6m high for a length of 2m. No evidence was found for the smaller building to the north. A feature 3m diameter x 1.5m deep on the northern side of the spoil mound at SX42327320 may have been a shaft or lode back pit. Other details: Site 121 & 122.
