(11/11/2003) An area of shallow tin streamworks along the course of the Colly Brook on Peter Tavy Great Common. The workings are spread along both the moorland section of the brook and the enclosed lands leading down to Wedlake. The upper moorland section is now heavily overwhelmed by bog and its true extent is now hidden. The area near the enclosure walls consists of stony mounds and shallow channels. As the working extends west the perimeter is marked by a steep escarpment of up to 5.0 metres in places.
