Site 17: Thickening Tank to the rear of the 'Pan' is 5 metre wide and circa 3 metres deep. This smaller of the two tanks is constructed of granite masonary cement rendered on three sides with two hatch doors allowing access to the 'Pan'. A slurry channel feeds into this tank directly from a settling tank to the south-east.
Site 18: The larger of the two settling tanks has four hatch doors and a well preserved 'button-hole launder' in the north-west corner. The depth is circa 3 metres. The south end is obscured by a mound of rubble which may represent part of the collapsed wall of the kiln.
Site 19: Substantial granite faced slurry channel 1 metre wide by 0.7 metres deep links the settling tanks to the south to the southern thickening tank.
