Workings during the period from the early 1700s until the 1840s were probably sporadic, however by the mid 1850s a more industrialised operation had been established. By the mid 1860s the mining sett comprised 350 acres, consisting of a level going in from the cliff face in a northwest direction which was connected to a shaft from the surface at {{convert|420|ft|m|1|abbr=on}}. A rich yield of hematite had by then been extracted from the entrance to the shaft. In 1873 the mine was acquired by the newly formed Maughold Head Mining Company however output began to decline significantly and the Maughold Head Mining Company went into liquidation in 1874.[3] The liquidation of the Maughold Head Mining Company was a protracted affair. As a result, working of the mine carried on at intermittent periods until the last workings were recorded in 1893.[2] See also
