Wheel pit for Week Ford stamping mill

Wheel pit for Week Ford stamping mill

Burnard comments on the photograph that the stone in the foreground has circular cavities. This is probably a mortar stone which was used for crushing the tin ore in a stamping mill. This is the upper of the two tin mills near Week Ford, the other being a blowing house.
