A quick trot into the plantation via the spoil heap soon saw us
find the adit for Browngill Top Level. The level is very shallow for the first
200m or so and some of the roof has fallen in, but it is open. Further along
there are some depressions which might indicate that the roof of the level has
collapsed, but it would be a relatively minor exercise in digging it out to gt
in. There is a fair bit of water coming out of it and it could easily be
lowered with a bit of digging and dredging. Dotted around the level are
numerous bell pits. The level does connect with the Longholehead Whimsey and
that possibly might be another way in. |
