Cave on mineralised fault/lode on Portquin beach.

A large cave is developed on the mineralised structure on Portquin beach. At the very top of the back of this cave an adit follows a lode structure for some distance in the general direction of Gilson's Cove mine but does not connect with the two shafts.

  • Very interesting area! Apparently the shaft closest to the sea does drop in to the adit: https://www.aditnow.co.uk/community/viewtopic.aspx?p=192592#msg192620 (aricooperdavis)
