Narrow curvilinear earthwork ditches, circa 1m wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946. The earthworks correspond to a watercourse on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map and late 19th century Ordnance Survey map, on which it is labelled as 'Plymouth Leat'. Only the earthworks that fall within this project area have, however, been transcribed. The monument polygon for this leat also terminates just beyond the south-western extent of this project area. Earthwork ditches associated with the Dartmoor section of Plymouth Leat (MDV19108) have been attributed to that record.
