Full description

Buck, C., 2010, George & Charlotte Mine, Morwell, Devon: Archaeological Assessment, 37-8 (Report - Assessment). SDV345606.

Shallow Adit is shown on the 1867 estate maps and the abandoned mine plans. It is sited just above 'Count House Road' and extends under Air (Adit) Shaft and Crosscourse Shaft, eastwards towards Emily Shaft. The adit has been cleared by the Tamar Mining Group as far as Crosscourse Shaft. It is likely that the upper section of the lode through which this (shallow) adit was cut was mined in the preceeding century. The adit site was not observed during the survey as it is in private ownership. Other details: Figures 5, 7-8, 18: site 22.
