The eastern reservoir (SX 6843 6971) has been truncated by openwork 16. On the northern side the bank is 5m wide and 1m high. Grass, bracken and gorse. A leat leading to this dam from the north is 0.8m wide by 0.2m deep and the associated bank is 1m wide and 0.1m high. This leat has been cut by a prospecting pit. This pit measures 2.3m by 1.4m and 0.5m deep. And its spoil dump which lies downslope is 3m wide and 0.2m high.
