IVANHOE CO - Heritage Inventory Description
Scattered and disturbed mullock, quartz wash and slum heaps approximately 1-1.5m high. The position of the shaft is not obvious. The two main heaps are 15m and 25m long respectively and 10m wide. A substantial dam adjoins the site but it is unclear whether this is associated with the mine or as seems more likely, was constructed or modified for agricultural purposes. There is a basalt stone structure between 6-7m long and 3m wide at the northern end of the mullock heap that runs in a north easterly direction.
