Full description
Buck, C., 2006, Gawton Mine, Devon: Archaeological Assessment, 32 (Report - Assessment). SDV344672.
The adit portal is open, and orange coloured mine water is draining out from its interior. The portal opening is approximately 1.8 metres high and 1.5 metres wide. At a distance of about 3 metres inside the portal it has a small branch going to the south-east (presumably to Fuller's Shaft) and another to the north-east (presumably past Adit Shaft), and into the underground levels. Old tram rails can be seen in the murky water on the adit floor. Other details: Figures 5-6, 20, 35, site 18.2.
