Foxhole Mine Leat Embankment

Notes: This leat embankment would’ve carried water on to an over fed water wheel. The leat while dry is still traceable to an extent.

Tinners’ Cache, near Wheal Frederick (470 m)

Description: At first I thought I had stumbled upon a Tinners’ Hut, but it looks more like some kind of support wall of waste granite that resulted in a pit. It certainly doesn’t look like a safe place to sleep – although I guess it has been there for quite a long time. I have come to the conclusion that this must be a tinners’ cache – but need to research this further. I can think of no other purpose!
