(31/07/1995) A ruined tinner's building lies on the right bank of the East Dart, some 300 metres north-west of Kit Rocks, at SX6114 8296, in an area of streamworking. The rectangular structure, built of coursed moorstone blocks, measures 5.4 metres north-south and 1.7 metres east-west. The turf-covered walls survive up to three courses high and are 1.1 metres wide and 0.9 metres high. An entrance lies in the eastern wall and a partition divided the building into two roughly equal rooms east-west. The building is well-preserved, and may have been rebuilt, particularly at its northern end.
