Hobbs Hill tin mine is an ancient monument comprising openwork and lodeback tinwork located near Chyseger Farm in Cornwall. The site represents evidence of tin extraction methods employed during the medieval and early modern periods, when surface mining techniques were used to exploit tin deposits in this region. The openwork and lodeback features are characteristic of the shallow mining practices that preceded deep underground mining operations in Cornwall's tin industry. These remains contribute to the archaeological record of Cornwall's significant tin mining heritage and the landscape transformations resulting from centuries of mineral extraction activity.
