Mine going into the hillside about 60 yards or so. There are two tunnels heading off one to the right one to the left. The left tunnels goes back in about 40-50 yards. The right tunnel goes back about 60 yards. There are places along the tunnel where they started branching tunnels but gave up after 5-10 feet on all of them. During the winter there are loads of bats.

The mine produced Talc, Chalcopyrite, an Steatite ores for several years at the beginning of the century, before being closed. Not much known about the mine not a lot of people even know about them.

Nothing going to happen to the mine anytime soon. It's a bat habitat so it's going to be closed up for a long time.
