Full description
Newman, P., 2006, Holne Chase Tin Mine, Holne, Devon: An Archaeological Survey, 4, Figure 4 (Report - Survey). SDV359868.
A horse whim was used to hoist material from the shaft located 6 metres to the south-east. The whim survives as a 8.3 metre diameter level earthwork platform which cuts into the slope on the north side. A mellior stone with its socket exposed is sited close to the centre. Once raised waste material was barrowed via a gully on the east side of the openwork. A roughly built stone revetment may have aided the barrow run.
