Tin mill, tinwork and post-medieval farmstead at Outcombe is a complex of industrial and domestic structures located on Bodmin Moor in Devon, reflecting the region's significant tin-working heritage. The site comprises evidence of tin processing facilities and associated farming settlement dating to the post-medieval period, when tin extraction and milling formed a major economic activity across Cornwall and Devon. The remains demonstrate the integration of industrial processing with domestic habitation, a characteristic arrangement of moorland tinworks where workers' settlements developed in close proximity to extraction and milling sites. The archaeological evidence at Outcombe contributes to understanding the technological and social organisation of tin production during the early modern period on Bodmin Moor.
