SiteCard data copied on 13/08/2024: The site consists of a large dam, an extensive area of surfacing to bedrock north and north-east of the dam, and shallow alluvial workings (shallow sinking, sluicing) down the gully to the south of the dam. The dam and surfacing works are in good condition. The patch of shallow shaft workings is eroded into hummocks and hollows and the shallow ground sluicing in the gully below is overgrown and not obvious.
