Keaglesborough Mine and Riddipit farmstead is an ancient monument complex located in Devon comprising evidence of medieval and post-medieval settlement and mineral extraction activity. The site lies approximately 850 metres north-east of Norsworthy Bridge and represents the remains of both domestic occupation at Riddipit farmstead and associated tin mining operations at Keaglesborough, reflecting the economic importance of tin extraction to the region during the medieval period and beyond. The monument's physical character includes upstanding earthworks and field evidence relating to both the farmstead structures and the mine workings, which form part of the broader pattern of tin mining exploitation across south-west England. The site is designated as a heritage monument of archaeological significance for its contribution to understanding rural settlement patterns and mining activity in the medieval and early modern landscape of Dartmoor and its fringes.
