(01/11/1995) SX64687087 A small and poorly preserved tinners hut, sited at the foot of the outer western scarp of the Skir Gut tinworks. The outline of the structure is visible as low, stone wall foundations. The internal dimensions are 5m by 2m and there is no visible entrance. A central partition wall which divides the building into two sections is likely to be the result of recent interference. Antiquity model surveyed at 1:2500.
