Full description
Buck, C., 2006, Gawton Mine, Devon: Archaeological Assessment, 45 (Report - Assessment). SDV344672.
Documentary evidence shows there was a short elevated tramway to take the waste from south of the engine house complex to the end of the waste tip. This feature is no longer visible, although some of the deep vertical timber supports are likely to be in situ. Timber posts and panelling with stone retaining walls are also likely to be extant in places. Other details: Figure 36, site 40.1.
