Summary
A medieval or later tinner's hut situated within streamworks on the east edge of T Girt. An archaeological field survey in 1995 recorded the building as well preserved, measuring 4 metres by 2 metres, with walls surviving to a maximum height of one metre. There is a possible entrance in the north wall, and the east wall is revetted into the edge of the streamworks. A possible hearth lies at the west end, and a central partition divides the building into two roughly equal parts.
