Site of a large spoil heap shown on 19C maps at Wheal Anna Maria mine. The mound was created by the railway (see PRN 3880) bringing waste from the Wheal Anna Maria dressing floors & copper crusher houses. The survey in 2002 found a waste rock tip c100m x 100m with an original height of c20m. Tons of the material have been removed & some may have been re-processed in the 1880s arsenic production. Other details: Site 175.
