On the edge and near the bottom (south end) of a post Medieval Openworks adjacent to the former Plym Consols Tin Mine there is evidence of a possible Tin (Stamping) Mill in the form of a Double Mortar Stone.
This post is a photographic summary of the Openworks, the Double Mortar Stone at the location of the ‘possible’ Tin (Stamping) Mill and other features in the area such as an old shaft and a possible small enclosure / crude building
