Summary[edit]

Description
English: Deep scars on Dartmoor. The deep scarring left by Tin Miners hundreds of years ago. Known as 'Gerts' or 'Guts', there are many of these across the whole of the moor and were caused either by digging into the soil and rock with picks and shovels to extract the Tin ore in an 'open cast' manner or by diverting water in the form of 'leats' to wash the ore out from the surrounding gravels.
