(31/07/1995) A ruinous tinner's building lies on the left bank of the East Dart River near Broad Marsh, at SX 61868184. The rectangular structure measures 6 metres north-south and 3.6 metres east-west and has walls of coursed moorstone blocks 0.8 metres wide and 0.8 metres high. A possible entrance lies in the eastern wall. The building lies in an area of streamworks (MDV16522) and access to it is very difficult due to the extensive marshes which surround it.
