Abandoned structures associated with the later life of the Pandora Mine. That they are later is evident from the use of concrete, rather than the traditional and readily-available stone. This appears to be the foundation of the winding engine for Pyne's (or Engine) Shaft. The Pandora Mine had a long, but far from successful life that ended in 1931 with liquidation of the Eagle Lead Company.
