    Elliott's Reef Mine - Physical Description 1

    Machinery site: North of Elliot Track is a small, partially quarried mullock heap, approximately 15 metres in diameter and 5 metres high. The heap has two dumping lines radiating from a collapsed shaft. 20 metres east of the shaft is a scatter of building stone, hand-made brick, and mortar. A line of reef workings runs south, downhill towards Elliot Track.

    Battery site: On the south edge of Elliot Track is a large dam, with a large stopcock valve on its outlet. On the opposite side of the track to the dam is a battery site. A section of a stone boiler setting survives, associated with a scatter of hand-made red bricks. East of the boiler setting is a mound of earth and building rubble, from which runs a line of protruding iron bolts, probably all that survives of a battery's wooden framework. The length of the line of bolts indicates the site of a 20-head battery. Traces of battery sand lie in the gully belong the battery site.
