Full description

Cornwall Archaeological Unit, 2001-2002, Tamar Valley National Mapping Programme Transcriptions and Database Records, RAF/CPE/UK/2501/4111-2 (Interpretation). SDV346287.

The transcriptions of structural remains, curvilinear narrow earthwork ditches and an earthwork enclosure bank adjacent to a rectilinear earthwork pit aerial photographs RAF/CPE/UK/2501/4111-2 correspond with a database record of an industrial complex south-west of East Crowndale. Attribute data associated with the transcriptions suggest an interpretation as a reservoir and associated structures.
