Summary
A curvilinear earthwork ditch, visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, corresponds to a Mill Leat depicted on late-19th century mapping, and is interpreted as the mill race for 16th-17th century Furzleigh Corn Mill.

A curvilinear earthwork ditch, less than 2 metres wide, is visible on aerial photographs taken from 1948 onwards and on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. It corresponds to a Mill Leat depicted and marked on late-19th century mapping, which runs south to Furzeleigh Corn Mill (MDV21150) and appears to be controlled by sluices to the north where the water is taken from the river (MDV112348). Only the segment that is visible on the aerial imagery has been transcribed.
