Site of a water wheel pit and associated buildings (Site 39) shown on the 19th century maps. The site may have been worked as a small separate mining concern or may have become part of Wheal Russell Mine after 1867. The buildings to the north and south of the water wheel may have been related to ore dressing. The survey in 2005 found the outline of the waterwheel pit with remnants of walls on both sides.
