Summary
The remains of a small shelter lie within tin streamworking remains on the left bank floodplain of the River Avon. The building is situated against a pile of tin streaming debris and measures 1.7m N to S by 1.8m internally with walls 0.5m wide and 0.4m high. There is no obvious entrance. The function of this structure is unclear but it can probably be associated with the tin streaming activity in this area.
