Full description

Edgumbe, A. D., 1988, Tinners' Cache (Worksheet). SDV253890.

Tinners cache. Lies on the north bank of the Lints Tor Brook on a level, grassy area at the foot of a crescent shaped clitter. It is circular in shape and in the form of a flat, dome shaped grassy mound. It is, however, unmistakably man made. Flat rocks stood on edge form the 'walls' with a number of larger flat rocks marking the 'roof'. The whole is covered by turf and natural growth. On the north side is an opening through which the interior maybe viewed. The interior is relatively clear of growth and large enough to be used as a store but too small for habitation. Diameter 2.0 metres, height 0.7 metres.
