Tinners' building lying adjacent to the Black Ridge Brook and situated 1540m NNE of Fur Tor
Devon
This scheduled monument is the remains of a building associated with tin working, situated in the remote moorland beside Black Ridge Brook north-northeast of Fur Tor. The structure dates from the period when tin extraction was a significant activity across Dartmoor, likely medieval or post-medieval in origin. Such buildings would have served the practical needs of tinners working the nearby streams and valleys.
Today the site survives as ruins in open moorland, offering visitors a tangible connection to Dartmoor's industrial past. The location beside the brook reflects the importance of water to tin working processes. This is a quiet, windswept corner of the moor, best reached on foot and best appreciated alongside other evidence of mining scattered across the high ground.
