    MORNING LIGHT CO. - Heritage Inventory Description

    /nThe mullock heap and mounds of quartz wash at this site are very overgrown with gorse and it was not possible to determine the precise shape of the heaps. The mullock heap is approximately 35 m by 25 m by 3 m high, there is a slight depression south of the heap and further south are a few quartz wash mounds 10 m long by 1 m by 1m high. A small scatter of mullock also extends north from the main heap. The heaps appear to have been disturbed.
