Visited on 12th July 1979. Bottle hill farmhouse. Mentioned in a lease dated 1820. A statement by John Farley of Hemerdon Ball dated 1879 who worked at Bottle Hill mine from 1823 onwards states that "thirty to forty years ago Bottle Hill farm was torn down. Three cottages now stand on or near the site of the farmhouse and these cottages have always taken, and are still taking their potwater in the same mode through a gutter from the leat". The remains of the farmhouse may be roughly discerned at SX56305878. No trace of the tinners cottages can be found, but the field wall running from SX56105878 to SX56375881 contains an abundance of building stone which may explain their disappearance. Bottlehill leat, gutter, untraceable today.
