Description
On the western side of Newhouse Gill is an adit cut into the slope. Most of the entrance has collapsed but some of the interior remains visible through a small hole. Ian Tyler (Tyler, I. 1995. 91, 192) seems to identify this as the remains of William Hetherington's 'copper' level, dug c.1750 but the confusion over the history of the level makes this identification uncertain (Lax, A. 1995).
