Whiteworks Mine, Devon
An archaeological field survey in 1989 recorded the most notable surviving feature of the mining complex as being the large number of shafts generally orientated northeast-southwest or northwest-southeast, and openworks and additional shafts on Peat Cot Hill.
Water for the mine was supplied by leats. At least eight leats were identified during the survey, the most complete example being Whiteworks Engine Stream.
One of the features the least supplied water to were the water wheels, two waterwheel pits were recorded in the survey. Other surviving features included whims, two of which were visible as raised revetted platforms, a stamps platform and possible dressing floor and mine buildings.
