Summary
Remains of a possible post Medieval tinner's hut situated on the upper edge of a tinners cutting on one side of a deep streamworking site. An archaeological field survey in 1989 found the structure difficult to identify but it appeared to measure about 2.2 metres square internally with traces of wall footings composed of largish boulders. The north corner is two courses high, 0.5 metres externally and 0.2 metres internally. There were no other recognisable features.
