Archaeology Notes

NS97SE 132 c. 991 716

(Location cited as NS 992 716) Hilderston Lead Mine: Noted that the site is associated with silver workings (see NS) but is a lead mine and oies on the W side of a small body of water [hence grid reference difference] and formed an open cast working. Passages survive but flooded.

Grampian Speleological Group 2008.
