Two shallow reservoirs at Redlake China Clay Works are sited to the south-east of the sky tip covering an area totalling 0.5 hectares. These probably supplied water to the monitors, to wash the clay out of the pit, as well as the boilers in the engine house. Both still retain water. The pit was active between 1910 and 1932, operated by the China Clay Corporation Ltd and later by the Ivybridge Clay Company.
