Full description
Buck, C., 2006, Gawton Mine, Devon: Archaeological Assessment, 28 (Report - Assessment). SDV344672.
Shaft possibly cut in the 1850s and shown on the 1867 Bedford Estates survey map and Bedford Consols map of lodes and shafts. The site within which the shaft is located is wooded, but also characterised by pits and spoil heaps. The shaft site appears to be within a wide area, 10 metres north-south by 12 metres east-west, with a 3 metres bank on the east side of the open area. The shaft is presumably choked to the surface. Other details: Figures 5-6, 35, site 12.
