Summary: | The Atlas burning house, located in Middlecott Wood (near Trumpeter, Ilsington) is one of several surviving features associated with the Atlas Tin Mines (1859-20th century). Building is a fine example of a 19th century, twin reverberatory calciner, where impurities were burned from the mined tin ore as part of the dressing process.
