(27/07/2001) SX 6955 8123. Tinners' hut sited in the base of a gully on the west side of Hookney Tor, just east of the road. The hut has robustly built dry stone granite walls with an entrance on the southeast side. The back wall which is built into the base of the slope has a small stone-built compartment or fireplace built into the north corner. Judging by the lack of loose stone the walls are more or less intact.
