Dist:0.8km<br/>According to Heaton Cooper the tarn is all that remains of an ice age lake which covered the Nether Wasdale area. He also notes that in 1865 a local farmer found two blocks of Plumbago in a pile of stones. These blocks were carved with dies to cast coins. The coins were a groat and half a groat pieces from the period of Edward IV and Richard III and silver pennies from the reign of Henry VII. It is suspected that the forger was a local monk from Furness Abbey.
