Summary: | Vis=6/11/1992 (rchme) approximately 11.5ha of streamworking remains on the right bank of the walla brook between sx67608083 and sx66937925 and both sides of statts brook. The walla brook workings (between sx67608083 and sx67127953) are concentrated in a thin band, on average 10m to 15m wide, and have suffered denudation and partial burial by later workings in the valley sides. Between sx67127953 and sx66937925, where it enters runnage farm, the remains are connected to the workings centred on statts brook. This brook flows for most of its length through a narrow valley until it emerges onto the floodplain of the walla brook. Its original course was probably along the ne side of the plain where a broad band of very well-preserved parallel spoil heaps and, now dry, water channels lie at a distinctly higher level above its present course. |
