Summary
A small ruined three-sided Post Medieval building situated at the foot of a tinner's cliff by the left bank of Willsworthy Brook. Despite its proximity to the cliff it is probably a farm building associated with Redford Farm rather than with the nearby tin mining activities. The building is built of coursed boulders with revetments. Its exact function is not currently known.

(18/08/1998) SX 53618326. The remains of a small three-sided structure lie at the foot of the tinners cliff flanking the left bank of the Willsworthy Brook. Measuring 3.6m E to W by 4.5m internally the building is open to the W and possesses coursed boulder walls and revetments up to 1.0m high. The interior is strewn with rubble and no detail is visible. The original form and function of this building are uncertain but it would seem to be more closely related to Redford Farm than any tinworking activity.
