Full description
Buck, C., 2006, Gawton Mine, Devon: Archaeological Assessment, 48 (Report - Assessment). SDV344672.
An Early Calciner site is located at SX 45186 68894. The possible calciner site is south and higher than the Furnace building (Site No. 45.3). The walls are less than half the height than when they were photographed in 1958 by Ordish and are nearly obscured by trees and brambles at the time of this survey. Fencing this site from the adjacent track into Gawton Quay appears to be the only long term management solution. Other details: Site No. 45.1.
