GV II
Buddle. Probably second half of C18. Roughly coursed sandstone rubble, using
long stones in dry construction. Walls about 40 cm. high form enclosure about
one by 5 metres; opening at south end from which water drained after washing
lead ore. With the knocking wall and bingstead to the south, a complete and
rare example of primitive ore-dressing techniques.
Historical note: Westernhope mines were worked for the Blackett family from
early C18 to 1861. ( Information from Ian Forbes, Durham County Council).
