Dist:0.2km<br/>Remains of a sluice, probably used to regulate the flow of water to the former Chyandour smelter a few hundred yards further down the valley. What's left of the gate mechanism can be seen in the foliage above the masonry.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The inscription (in bad Latin) reads: "QVENATAVCI IC DINVI FILIVS" which translates as "Quenataucus (lies) here, son of Dinuus". Apparently the two names are Irish and not Cornish, and date from the sixth century.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Former stables associated with the nearby Chyandour Smelter (long disused), now an architect's offices. Prior to conversion, this building was a dilapidated and overgrown shell.
