AZIMUTH CO - Heritage Inventory Description
This site abuts a deep gully and the heap running along the edge of the gully has partly fallen into the gully. From the depression, which indicates the position of the shaft, there is a scatter of quartz mounds up to 1m high covering an area 85m by 25m heading northeast. The layout of this material suggests that it has either been moved about or else a large amount of the quartz that was originally here has been removed./ A single relatively intact finger of quartz wash runs along the edge of the gully north west of the shaft for a distance of approximately 80 metres. This finger of quartz wash is approximately 12m wide and up to 3m high./nImmediately west of the quartz wash is a large intact mullock heap which has four fingers varying in length from 50-70 m and from 20-40 m in width. These fingers fan around from the south west to the north west and are up to 4m high. The mullock heap is infested with gorse and this description of its shape is only an approximation./nThe material left on site gives some indication of the basis of the operation of this mine, although not enough remains to explain operations such as pumping or winding etc.
