(01/08/2006) Two groups of tin pits situated at the head of Hartor Brook. The western faction (centred SX 5900 7166) branches off to the south from Hartor Brook Tin Streamwork, (1448374) towards the apex of a north east facing slope. At this point they appear to transform from an alignment into a cluster and feature some larger examples.
Situated further along the streamwork is another similar orientation of pits, (SX 5912 7165; MDV62304) that appear to be a further extension of a gully.
The second group of Tin Pits is located on a west facing slope to the east of the streamwork, (SX 5952 7183). See MDV62304 and MDV122159 for related records.
