Site visited in February 1988. Suggested forge at Holwell Quarry. Built into hillside on south side of granite tramway. Entrance on north side. The surviving wall suggests a building of 'lean-to' type, the front wall being lower than the back. A platform in the middle of the rear wall, with flue-like channels beneath, suggests a forge.
