Summary
Des-vis=3/4/1995 (gerrard) a very small part of this streamwork is included within the scheduled area because vermin trap (sx56ne/105) was constructed on top of the earlier tinwork. This part of the streamwork includes parts of spoil dumps represented by linear banks and hollows which indicate the position of partially backfilled tyes. The alignment and shape of the mounds indicates that exploitation was carried out in a southerly direction, using only shovels to dispose of the waste gravel and stones.

(03/04/1995) A very small part of this streamwork is included within the scheduled area because vermin trap (SX56NE/105) was constructed on top of the earlier tinwork. This part of the streamwork includes parts of spoil dumps represented by linear banks and hollows which indicate the position of partially backfilled tyes. The alignment and shape of the mounds indicates that exploitation was carried out in a southerly direction, using only shovels to dispose of the waste gravel and stones.
A tinwork is documented at Trowlesworthy in 1625, and this may relate to some of the earthworks found within this area.
