Site of former tinworkings. Long curving gully visible on the ground and on LiDAR. Any associated earthworks are no longer visible and there is no obvious water supply to it. The gully is visible as a single entity on LiDAR but it may have started life as two separate gullies that became joined when adopted as a boundary. The gully is 5-6 metres wide on averate and up to 2 metres deep widening near its southern end to about 8 metres. Part of the gully has been adopted by a modern track.
