| Record Name | Park Gill Mine Workings |
| Record Description | There is little information about these workings and what there is gives the impression that they were not very productive. On the ground there is no evidence of lead contamination of the soil. There is one major spoil heap of gang rock and no evidence of ore being dressed.
The major feature appears to be a possible level entrance, the main spoil heap, a continuous cut and the diverted gill. See images and their descriptions. There are also a number of platforms and small shafts. |
