Summary

Small narrow area of openwork extending east to west from sx44147168 to sx44317168 probably excavated in the c18 exploiting an ‘unnamed lode’ extending in a narrow band from sx44397194 to sx44167190. Earthworks of pits and a bank are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2010 and 2013.

Full description

BUCK, Untitled Source (Migrated Record). SDV219466.

Small narrow area of openwork extending east to west from sx44147168 to sx44317168 probably excavated in the c18 exploiting an ‘unnamed lode’ extending in a narrow band from sx44397194 to sx44167190. The survey in 2003 found no evidence for the outcrop working (buck).

Earthworks of sub-oval pits and an irregularly shaped bank, interpreted as possible lode-back pits and a spoil heap of post-medieval or 19th century mine workings, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2010 and 2013. The pits are circa 4m in length and are in a linear arrangement. A number of the pits are surrounded by a bank which measures circa 105m in length by 10m in width. The earthworks correspond with two dashed-line features depicted on the late 19th century First Edition Ordnance Survey map.
