Summary
A boundary line to the south of the mill, shown on the Tithe Map, may perpetuate the line of the priory's primary culvert. This appears to have taken water from the eastern pond, a line possibly preserved by a footpath - then down below the east and south ranges and on to the mills. This would also have served a drain in the reredorter.
