Full description
Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848 (Cartographic). SDV349431.
The earthworks do not correspond with any curvilinear features in this location.

Narrow curvilinear ditches, circa 2m wide, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The earthworks follow the outside edge of Plymouth Leat (MDV19108) along the 175m contour line, from SX51866510 to SX51966486, a total length of circa 950m. They do not correspond with any curvilinear features in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps. The earthworks are interpreted as leats of post-medieval to 19th century date, possibly evidence of an former phase of Plymouth Leat.
