Summary
About 2.5 ha of streamworking occurs in a low-lying area alongside a narrow moorland stream. It apparently starts at the edge of the enclosed land S of Dunna Bridge and continues almost to the source of the stream, fading out around SX64267507. The evidence for streaming is very patchy, largely consisting of small mounds of upcast gravel and a deepened streambed.
