Asgard Swamp Mine and Kiln
|
Maps: LPI Mt Wilson 89301N GR: 492 839 Track Notes: Comments: The site for the Asgard Mine and Kiln was developed over many years, probably from 1880 to 1925. It was just one of a number of sites in the upper Grose Valley to be investigated by prospectors. Over the years the site was leased to a number of different people. There are a number of other relics in the vicinity as well as other mine addits. The inside of the Kiln looks as though it was never actually used. A very interesting archaeological study of the site by E Higginbotham and R. Ian Jack was published in Australian Archaeology, Volume 15 in 1982. |
