Summary

Remains of a possible post medieval tinner's hut situated on the east side of the Hootens Wheals. An archaeological field survey in 1996 recorded a rectangular building with internal dimensions of 3 metres by 4 metres, and has a possible entrance on the west side. It is likely to be associated with the pre-19th century activity at the site, and probably of the openwork phase.
