Gawton arsenic mine and flue is a scheduled ancient monument located in Devon, comprising the remains of arsenic extraction workings and associated infrastructure. The site dates from the nineteenth century, when arsenic mining formed part of the broader extractive industries that developed across southwest England. The flue system, which would have conveyed arsenic-bearing vapours during the roasting process, represents the industrial technology employed in ore processing at the time. The monument preserves evidence of the mining operations that characterised the region's economic activity during the Victorian period.
