Lingcombe tinners mill, Chagford SX 6883 8440. Site is a field to the north of the Mariners Way, discovered by Greeves. Bodman notes that Greeves found an extensive spread of tin slag on the surface of walker's route, but no sign of any structure or mouldstones yet. The slag however indicates this is the potential site of a tin blowing mill on the right bank of the River Bovey.
