    Heritage Inventory Description

    FITZROY CO - Heritage Inventory Description

    Site No.101.02 consists of a mullock heap and a quartz wash heap. The mullock heap is north of the likely location of the shaft, which could not be located because of the dense cover of blackberries. The mullock heap is 10m wide at its southern end and is 20m wide at its northern end, where it splits in two. The heap is 20m long and between 2.5-3.5 m high, it has suffered some disturbance and settling. The quartz wash heap runs east from the shaft and appears relatively intact. It is 40m by 25m and 3m high. There is a dam 40-50 metres north east of this site./nSite No.101.03 is located on the south east corner of the dam. The only features that can be made out at this site are mullock or quartz wash heaps, but it is not possible to determine what these heaps are made of because of the infestation with gorse. The two heaps at this site are 20m by 12m and 15m in diameter respectively, and are oriented north-south.
