Summary
Ruined tinners' hut beside an unnamed brook running east to west on south-west flank of Amicombe Hill. The rectangular structure is oriented east to west and measures 6.3 metres by 2.7 metres internally. The surviving walls are roughly 1.0 metre wide and 0.6 metres high with gaps roughly centrally in the north and south sides. A short length of crude walling in the east half of the hut sub-divides the rubble and reed-filled area.
