KOSSUTH OR ALSTON OR HOTSPUR CO. - Heritage Inventory Description
Site No.134.01 is north of the Newtown-Berringa Road. It consists of two separate sites 50 m apart, both of which have quartz wash and mullock heaps. The heap at the northern part of the site is 55 m long by 10 m wide and up to 3 m high. It contains both quartz wash and mullock and is very disturbed. The southern part is also disturbed. It is an irregular heap with mullock at the north west end and two disturbed fingers of quartz wash at the south east end. It covers an area of approximately 50 m long with its width varying between 5 and15 m.
Heritage Inventory Significance: Local/Regional because of its contrast with larger, steam powered deep lead mines; need to make closer comparisons with similar groupings of sites at Linton.
