Halwyn was a small nineteenth-century opencast iron working near the Mount and Treamble group of mines. Its place in the Great Perran Iron Lode landscape is easier to understand from the map than from a surviving engine house: an opencast mine could leave a pit rather than the familiar chimney-and-engine-house silhouette.

The neighbouring Mount and Treamble entries show how several separate properties worked the same mineral belt. The mapped position is the historic locality, not a visitor entrance.
