Summary
Narrow linear ditches, interpreted as two possible post-medieval or 19th century leats, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The leats had probably passed out of use by the late 19th century.

Two narrow linear ditches, less than 2m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The earthworks are visible to a length of circa 180m, are spaced circa 6m apart and follow the north side of Devonport Leat. They do not correspond with any linear features in this location on the late 19th century Ordnance Survey First Edition map. They are therefore interpreted as two possible post-medieval or 19th century leats associated with Devonport Leat which had both probably passed out of use by the late 19th century.
