Summary

Remains of a possible medieval or later tinners' cache. An archaeological field survey in 2006 recorded an overhanging boulder set within tinworks onto which stone walls had been added on the south side to form a shelter. The interior of the structure is approximately rounded and measured 1.5 metres in diameter with a 0.5 metre by 0.5 metre nook in one corner. The front walls appear to have been recently constructed.
