| Name: | Possible tinners' hut on the Walla Brook south of Wildtor Well, Dartmoor Forest |

Summary
Possible site of a medieval or later tinner's hut at Wildtor Well. An archaeological field survey in 2003 failed to locate any positive traces of the building. However a small, partially revetted scoop measuring 4.4 metres by 3.6 metres was recorded at SX 62768732, on the edge of a small area of streamworking, 300 metres to the south. This does not appear to represent the site of a building.

(28/10/2003) There is no ground evidence to support the presence of Butler's feature though a small, partially revetted scoop measuring 4.4 metres north to south by 3.6 metres lies at SX 62768732, on the edge of a small area of streamworking some 300 metres to the south. This does not appear to represent the site of a former building.
