Summary
Please read the Exmoor National Park Historic Environment Record caveat document.
Type and Period (2)
Protected Status
Full Description
South House Shaft. Part of Bampfylde Mine. Linked with Top Adit which joined the valley just below it. Both are depicted on a section drawing of the site dated 1772 and the 1868 Inventory section. From these plans, it would appear they emerged at a point near the base of the slope upwards from the valley floor. The adit emerged beneath the level of the leat and site of the shaft is marked by a small depression in the slope above the former leat. The site of the adit entry has been blocked but can be easily estimated. [1,2]SW
