Gruvene i "Næskilen" (nå Neskilen) var en av de viktigste produksjonsstedene for jernmalm ved Arendal frem til siste del av 1800-tallet. Gamle Mørefjær gruve er den største og eldste, og var i ordinær drift frem til ca 1820. På grunn av ras og andre driftsproblemer overtok Gamle Aslak gruve som hoveddrift, og i 1860-årene ble det også drevet en skråsjakt fra Gamle Aslak til Gamle Mørefjær.
