Across the Brisworthy Plantation the reave is visible as a low bank of earth and stone with a ditch on its east. It ends at SX55566564 short of the sunken lane. The lane is over 10 meters deep and the centre has a normal residual traffic ridge, not the reave. It probably followed the reave on one side which is common practice. Beyond, the reave is probably fossilized in modern field walls which occur on the same alignment and it reappears above the disused china clay workings at SX55116523 and continues south west as a broad stony bank.
