Tinners' building in Great Stannon Newtake is a ruined stone structure located on Dartmoor in Devon, situated approximately 810 metres north west of Stannon Tor. The building dates to the medieval or early modern period and represents evidence of tin mining activity on Dartmoor, reflecting the region's long history of metal extraction. The structure survives as a fragmentary stone foundation and walls, characteristic of the scattered remains of tinners' shelters and working buildings that are found across the moor. Such buildings provided shelter and storage facilities for those engaged in the labour-intensive processes of tin streaming and mining that formed a crucial part of the local economy for centuries.
