Narrow curvilinear and linear sections of ditch, less than 2m wide, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The earthworks are visible to a length of circa 640m and extend from the north side of Common Lane, northwest-wards towards Upper Road Plantation. The earthworks do not correspond with any features in this location on the late 19th century First Edition Ordnance Survey map, or on later available historic maps. They are interpreted as the remains of a 19th leat which possibly diverted water from Devonport Leat. The leat had likely passed out of use by the late 19th century.
