Tin streamworks at the head of Left Lake on Ugborough Moor. A small spread of earthworks contained within an area defined by scarps at Left Lake Mires, is all that remains following the imposition of the Left Lake clay pit in the 19th and 20th centuries. The tin work once had two branches, the southern of which comprises a series of narrow gullies, covering an area of 0.4 hectares with islands of unworked ground and a few trial pits at the southern end, while the northern is a shallower expanse of approximately 0.8 hectares.
