First described by Tim Jenkinson (2001).

Tim writes: “Red Brook, a relatively short water course of about two miles, begins its descent towards its confluence with the Bala Brook under the foot of Old Hill. Here, among the tinners excavations below the head mires, can be found two granite troughs in close proximity.” He continues: “The second and smaller trough lies nearer the brook, it is oval in shape and the reason for its abandonment is clear, a broken lip at its western edge.”
