NY2309 : Old adit, Grains Gill

taken 12 years ago, near to Seathwaite, Cumbria, England

Old adit, Grains Gill
Old adit, Grains Gill
This short adit (mine level) runs for about 10m, curving to intersect a prominent white vein which can be seen in the bed of the gill just south. I inspected it with a headtorch and there were shot holes visible at the end but no signs of any metallic minerals. It may be connected with the ruin just above Link
