Summary
Mine shaft representing the probable main focus of 19th century underground working at Ringleshutes, near the lower end of the openwork. The shafthead has a diameter of 9m and is approximately 5m deep. Adjacent to the shaft are the remains of a Cornish Engine House, used for pumping at the mine. A corresponding adit was undoubtedly the drainage level and an air shaft, now water filled, is sited equidistant between the engine shaft and the adit.
