RED LION CO - Heritage Inventory Description
There is a substantially intact heap of mullock 35m by 20m by 4m high at this site. A small mound of fine quartz wash 10m in diameter and 1m high located 10m south of the mullock heap. Although the mullock heap is the only feature on this site, its prominent position makes it a fairly important reminder of the mines in this vicinity.
