Summary
Possible site of a post Medieval or later tinner's hut. The structure was recorded by Devon SMR as measuring 5.4 metres by 2 metres. An archaeological field survey in 1989 recorded a number of low, turf-covered linear stony banks which might hide wall footings but were un-surveyable. Remnants of intensive streamworking occur around the site in the form of spoil heaps, water channels and tinner's walls with many earth fast boulders.

A number of low, turf-covered linear stony banks which might hide wall footings lie on a level shelf adjacent to the stream at SX62787200 but no surveyable remains can be identified. Remnants of intensive streamworking occur around the site in the form of spoil heaps, water channels and tinners walls with many earthfast boulders.
