More information : (SX 60247388) Mound (NAT). (1)
A "mound about four and a half yards across". (being the full
description, but plotted at SX 60207386 and annotated 'Tumulus'
on accompanying 1:10 560 location plan). (2)
Close to the north bank of the Blackbrook River, at SX 60247387,
in an area of boulders, is a mound of small stone 5.7m. by 4.8m.
and 0.8m. high. It is consistent with a tin-streaming mound,
and at least two others occur on the opposite bank of the river.
The amount of tin-streaming seems limited to an area about 250m. along the river and some 25m. to each side of it.
Surveyed at 1:10 000 and at 1:2500 for AO Records. (3)
A turf-covered, irregular-shaped, mound on the floodplain of the West Dart river, at the foot of a steep scarp. It may be associated with tin streamworking, but could simply be a pile of river erosion material. Not of archaeological significance. (4) |
