Full description
Currie, C. K., 1991, An Archaeological Evaluation of the Gardens at Dartington Hall, Devon, 3 (Report - Evaluation). SDV177640.
Reservoir in Dartington Hall garden. Sits just to the west of the line of chestnuts topping the south-west terrace of the tiltyard. It may tap a natural spring which was conducted from the 'well head' to the ornamental pond at the western end of tiltyard. Possibly served as water supply for the medieval hall. A stone capped conduit was noted within the terrace bank a few metres to north-east, suggesting that this feature pre-dates the tiltyard terraces.

A water supply was brought in a covered culvert from a spring on the south side of the valley to the late 14th century kitchen on the east side.
