Wheal Katherine is a tin mine forming an outlying section of the Eylesbarrow Tin Mine complex located west of Plym Ford on Dartmoor in Devon. The site represents exploitation of tin deposits during the medieval and early modern periods, when tin mining was a significant industry across Dartmoor. The workings comprise characteristic features of historic tin extraction including surface disturbance resulting from opencast and shallow mining operations. As a component of the broader Eylesbarrow mineral working landscape, Wheal Katherine contributes to the archaeological record of Dartmoor's mining heritage and is protected as an ancient monument.
