(11/07/1998) SX 52778301 to SX 53178262. Approximately 1.5ha of streamworking activity line both banks of a small unnamed right bank tributary of the Willwsworthy Brook on the SW slope of White hill. The workings have been disturbed by the creation of a turf and stone boundary wall on the left bank and much of the area has been inundated by marsh detritus. However, many of the narrow water channels and linear spoil heaps associated with this type of working are visible adjacent to the stream. Several small tin pits lie on the W edge of the working.
There are no structures associated with this working.
