Does anyone know what the old buildings in the woods opposite Come to Good and Gems (to the south west of the engine house)?

OS 1908 6 inch map sheet 56 SE, shows a line of shafts close to that location, presumably on the course of a lode, and a small quarry a little SE of that.
Although no buildings are marked, they could post date any quarrying/mining. Perhaps an attempt at streaming?
I passed there today and wanted to take a look, but traffic and a lack of parking etc etc.
I might have to park up near Parsley and hike up for a look sometime.

Hi Roy
The grid reference is SO 70519 46741 - almost directly below the house called Come to Good. I have just bought the plot of woodland and am keen to establish if the ruins are associated with the Wheal Ellen mine or are an old farmstead. All ideas gratefully received.
