Selection of shafts, MT Copper Mine

The surface indications consist mainly

of blocked shaft tops surrounded by circular heaps of spoil, which resemble the remains of bell-pits. However, unlike

bell-pits they were up to 120 feet deep,

though usually not more than 3'6" wide.

Evidently they were linked below ground

by extensive galleries, following the veins,

and also providing drainage levels.
