A rock-shelter exists on the left bank of the river Lyd opposite Great Nodden (SX 539874), in an angle of the valley worked by tin streamers. A very large flat granite slab about 18 inches thick and partly buried, forms part of the crest of a small stony hillock. Dry stone walling has been built up underneath its southern and eastern corners, forming a right-angled cavity, with an entrance at the south end of the east face. It is about 3 1/2 feet in height, the longer side being 14 feet and the south side 11 feet long. Worth was sure that it pre-dated the tin streaming work.
