HER Number:MDV108063
Name:Weir to south of Whitecleave Bridge, Buckfastleigh

Summary

A weir is shown at this location on modern mapping. The course of the Dean Burn has been considerably altered on the north side of the bridge, due to the construction the A38. This weir, on the south side of the bridge, appears, therefore, to be a later 20th century insertion.
