3 shafts - only W shaft is visible. Nearby to W are low remnants of buddles, dressing floor and building. Ore dumps, reprocessed during WWII, survive. Settling tanks also survive, some of which are full. In the cutting ('old quarry' on 1884 OS map) building remnants survive, but are obscured by vegetation. Visible shaft appears to show signs of movement. Settling ponds and ore dumps appear to be stable.
