Full description

Tin streaming along the Lemon included a later north-east to south-west trench at the north end of the streamworks. A deep narrow cleft descending at a sharp angle into the hillside. The cramped and dangerous conditions for miners working these lodes can be seen at one point where it is still 5 metres deep yet only a metre wide near the surface. A short leat from the Sig solved the water supply requirement to the upper end of the workings.
Newman, P., 2002, Haytor Down, Ilsington, Devon, 15, Figure 8 (Report - Survey). SDV346395.
A small lode working traverses the moorland to the north-west of the Crownley Parks streamwork oriented south-west to north-east. It is approximately 100 metres long and is only 2 metres wide in places with vertical rock-cut sides. The working has a considerable quantity of spoil along its southern edge which is unusual for a linear lode working of this type.
