Site visited on 15th May 2002. Structure 140 metres west-north-west of Plym Ford, forming part of Wheal Katherine tin mine. A 2 metre high dry coursed stone revetment wall denotes a platform adjacent to a mine shaft. The purpose of this structure is uncertain. Grass and rushes.

Several buildings are visible at Wheal Katherine. Adjacent to Shaft 31 is a level area with a substamtial revetment to the rear. It has been suggested that this may be a dressing floor but no other features are present. It could have been a covered area for storage or processing but is a long way from the main dressing floor.
