Site visited on 24th May 2020. Tinners' lodge at SX6371868129 on south side of Fishlake Gully. An indistinct tinners' lodge against the south side of a linear gully (Fishlake Gully) at a height of about 457 metres OD. The building is about 3 metres by 2 metres internally with walls about 1 metre wide and no more than 0.3 metres high. There is significant stone tumble in the interior. The linear gully, which has probably been worked for tin, ends a few metres to the west of the lodge where there is a possible stone structure of a cache or else some walling to protect a water supply.
