    Flagstaff Hill Mine & Alluvial Workings - Physical Description 1

    Starting at a point just below the summit there is a line of shallow reef workings, with partially filled shafts, open cuttings and mullock heaps 2 metres high, down the southern slope of the hill to the flat below. At the base of the hill there are also some shallow alluvial workings and two small dams, East of the summit there are additional workings on a parallel line of reef with a mullock heap 4 metres high.

    The site is generally bounded on the south by the Raywood Channel water race and by the summit of the hill at the northern end. The eastern and western boundaries should extend to include all alluvial and reef workings between these two extremities, and the southern boundary should be extended to include the two dams.

    The site is contiguous with the Shadbolt Picnic Area. The location of access paths through the site and their general construction should be considered as a model for the development of other historic mining areas identified within the study area.

    The reefs on Flagstaff Hill were one of the main sources of alluvia later worked in Nuggetty Gully, Whipsnake Gully and Patchy Flat.

    Some consideration should be given to renaming the hill as it was originally.
