Eylesbarrow Tin Mine is a post-medieval tin mining site located on Dartmoor in Devon. The mine represents the sustained exploitation of tin deposits during the sixteenth and later centuries, with evidence of both underground workings and associated surface features including mine shafts, spoil heaps, and water management infrastructure characteristic of early modern mining activity. The site demonstrates the technological and organisational practices employed in tin extraction during a period when Dartmoor's mineral resources were extensively developed to supply the growing demands of the tin industry. The remains, now largely ground-level features and disturbed terrain, are significant for understanding the economic history of Devon and the industrial archaeology of Dartmoor's mining heritage.
