Irregularly shaped pits, ditches, gullies, banks and mounds are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken from 1946, under the tree cover of Ham Bushes plantation on the west bank of the River Plym. The earthworks are more clearly defined on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, extending in a north-east to south-west alignment for approximately 0.4ha across a floodplain former by the river’s meander.
The earthworks are interpreted as extractive pits, stream channels and spoil heaps associated with possible medieval or post-medieval alluvial tin streamworks. Water used in the washing and processing of the tin-ore was probably sourced via leats from the River Plym.
The earthworks are largely obscured from view by dense tree cover and have been transcribed largely from Simple Local Relief and Positive Openess visualisations of available Environment Agency lidar data.
More extensive possible streamworks are visible as earthworks to the north, east and south Plym (MDV28709, MDV127045, MDV127029, MDV127354),
