Area of spoil heaps at eastern end of 'North Hooe Mine' shown on 1880s-1890s 25 inch Ordnance Survey map.

Meaton, C, 2023, North Hooe Silver and Lead Mine- North Hooe, Bere Alston, Devon- Conservation Assessment, 10, 33, Photograph 23 (Report - Survey). SDV366064.

Spoil heaps (12). The Spoil Heaps are located on the lower reaches of the valley floor and were readily visible as dumps and occasional finger-tips. The area was mostly overgrown with a mixture of trees, bracken, gorse and scrub but exposed mine waste was visible at low levels, comprising loose stone and gravels.
The Spoil Heaps, although partly overgrown, appear to be relatively undisturbed and are considered to be in a stable condition.
