Details Remains of a ironstone mine and associated smithy which are shown on the OS 1st edition map. The 2nd edition map shows only the disused Iron mine. The smithy survives as a rectangular area dug into the slope defined by only a few scarps marking the line of the walls. The building measured circa 7.5 m by 4 m and was open on one side. A level platform in one corner may mark the site of a hearth or forge. To the north and east on each bank of the Burn of Loinherry are several spoil heaps, Some depressions and areas of exposed outcrop nearby may indicate where working took place.
