Description
The ruins of a small house, likely originally linked to the mine to the east, date from around the mid-19th century. Constructed from granite rubble and moorstone, the roof structure has been removed, leaving a stone rubble end stack. The building is a very small single-cell house with an entrance located in the lower right-hand gable end. It is heated by an end stack on the higher left-hand gable end. The exterior features a single storey with one window opening at the front, although the window frame has been removed. The entrance is in the lower right-hand gable end, with a window next to the fireplace on the higher left-hand gable end. Inside, there is a roughly cut granite lintel above the fireplace. This site is a particularly interesting example of a very small 1-cell house, situated directly to the west of Butter's Tor.
