Summary

Rectangular building adjacent to a stamping mill 200m north of Norsworthy Bridge. Measures 5m by 2.5m. Rubble bank wall 1.8m wide, 0.8m high. A rectangular earthwork within the base of an earlier tinwork probably represents the site of a shelter or other structure associated with the nearby stamping mill. It is possible that the earthwork represents the site of a prospecting pit, but if so it has been severely distorted.
