(09/03/1999) Dressing floor associated with the Taw River blowing mill. A level area together with a u-shaped hollow probably represents the site of a dressing floor where the tin ore may have been washed for a final time before smelting.
Historic England, 2023, National Heritage List for England, 1019228 (National Heritage List for England). SDV365228.
To the west of the tailrace a level area represents the site of a dressing floor. At the northern end of the dressing floor is a horseshoe shaped hollow which may represent the site of a buddle or similar piece of apparatus. In the area immediately east of the mill fragments of tin slag have been recovered in the past.
