The millpond at Poltimore Farm has recently been cleared. It has a substantial earth embankment to the roadside with a rubble stone face to its pond side. There is a brick-lined slot in this face for the hatch whch controlled the water supply to the wheel. The hatch is missing but the lifting mechanism with its capstan and ratchet and pawl, in cast iron, is in place. The water is piped under the road, which has a marked hump, and appears in a rough, stone-lined leat immediately above the mill.
