Blowing house N of Dry Lake is a tin-smelting site located in Devon, dating to the medieval or early modern period when tin extraction and processing formed a significant part of the regional economy. The blowing house represents the industrial infrastructure associated with Devon's tin industry, where ore was smelted using bellows-driven furnaces to produce tin metal. The site preserves evidence of this extractive heritage within the landscape, contributing to the archaeological record of tin working in the south-west of England during the period when such operations were economically important to the area.
