MDE8276 - Possible 19th Century adit at Combe Martin beach (Monument)

SS 57744 47342. An adit [1] situated at the base of the cliff on the beach at Combe Martin. It has been sealed by a brick and concrete wall but the entrance appears to have been about 2.6 metres wide and 2 metres hugh. A hollow, 2 metres diameter 0.3 metres deep, situated at about SS 5778 4732 in the garden of a house is thought to indicate a collapse into the adit. Possibly associated with mid 19th Century mining activity.
