Summary

Two curvilinear earthwork ditches, 1 to 3 metres wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. They run parallel to each other and to the Bovey Pottery Leat circa 40 metres to the south, and an offshoot from the southern channel appears to be connected to the Bovey Pottery Leat at one point, suggesting perhaps that they are also likely to be early-19th century in date. No features are depicted in this location on the available historic maps, and these features presumably went out of use before the end of the 19th century.
