Summary edit

Description
English: Spoil heaps on Eastcott Down Eastcott down is a treasure trove of industrial archaeology. These spoil heaps mark an area where trial shafts were dug looking for veins (lodes) of manganese ore in the hope of extending Coryton Manganese Mine further down the hill side. To the uninformed they look like a group of long forgotten ancient burial mounds. This heightens the sense of gloominess on what is a very lonely and bleak spot, completely silent, except for the wind sighing through the trees and the soft crunch of pine needle underfoot.
