A substantial dam that drove a grinding wheel operated by the Bolsover family from Mosborough Moor. The wheel sharpend the implements manufactured at other sites in the valley.
My scythe and hammer lies reclin’d
My bellows too have lost their wind
My iron is spent, my steel is gone
My scythes are set, my work is done
My fires extinct, my forge decay’d
My body in the dust is laid
The Cache is sited on a broad track that leads northwards from the dam towards Plumbley. This is the route of the Plumbley tramway that carried coal from the valley to a weighing macine at Plumbleu
