Holne Chase Tin Mine stamping mill and dressing floor on a level area on the south side of the River Dart. The dressing plant covered approximately 1 hectare and contained a wheelpit, six round buddles, eleven rectangular pits, a large pond and a ruined building. A large pond survives as a dry and silted earthwork on the south side of the leat. The rectangular hollow is 22 metres long by 13 metres wide and less than 1 metre deep. Its purpose is unknown and may represent an earlier phase of activity.
