House with an outbuilding to the southeast at SX41697379 shown on 19C maps & two associated paddocks. The house may have been the residence of the sluice operator for the many reservoirs & settling ponds associated with the foundry & dressing floors at Wheal Maria mine.The large foundry reservoir pond is shown to the south of the house at SX41687378 with a leat running southeast from SX41697378 to SX42027371 to Wheal Fanny (see PRN 3870). The survey found extant remains of both buildings including walls, windows, fireplace & a pit. The pond probably provided water for the foundry water wheel & sluice outlets were found in the northwest & southwest corners of the pond. The leat was traced for most of its length with a stone lined tunnel at the end. Other details: Sites 55, 55/1, 56 & 57.
