| Name: | Tinworking on Corndon Down |
|---|
Summary
Small area of tinworking at the head of a stream, on the eastern lower slope of Corndon Down. The perimeter of the working is defined by a shallow scarp and the interior contains uneven boggy ground. The working can be seen to have cut through the prehistoric and medieval field boundaries in the vicinity, though the course one wall has adopted the edge of the tinwork on the south side.
