Caplecleugh Firestone Level Nenthead, Cumbria, OS Ref: NY78654229.
The
Caplecleugh Firestone Level follows the Caplecleugh North Vein and it was
driven below the Firestone Sill. A line of shafts north of Old Carr's Burn
marks the vein and the early workings. The level was presumably driven for
drainage of the shaft workings. No further history of the level can currently
be found. If you do visit for a look please leave the entrance as you found it,
as it has not gate. (Last Update 15/01/08)
