    Heritage Inventory Description

    EDINBURGH OR GOLDEN AGE CO - Heritage Inventory Description

    This site covers an area 100x60m and consists of a relatively large mullock heap and quartz heap but it is so overgrown with pine trees and weeds that it is not possible to work out the layout of the site or determine the size of the mullock heap. Many of the pine trees have been felled and left lying about the site, further contributing to the chaos at this site.
