What is recorded here
Sections of random rubble stone retaining walls, c.1800, bounding excavated pathway with lime mortar. Now mostly overgrown. Set into hill.
This structure, built to provide a pedestrian access for miners to the mine pits, is a subtle feature in the landscape. The construction of the walls in a traditional manner using unrefined, locally-sourced rubble stone serves to assimilate the structure into the surrounding landscape.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
