Turf House was used as store house for the peat cutters. All that remains nowadays is one standing stone, two fallen standing stones and mounds were the walls used to be. Originally there were eight standing stones. The purpose of the building was to dry the peat before transporting via Black Lane to the mines at Mary Tavy.
