The timber is probably a launder formerly associated with a waterwheel. The os 25" (1889) map shows a stream running south to the east of deep sellick farm.

The timber is 2.75m long, a maximum of 0.45m wide and 0.28m thick with the channel depth 0.20-0.24m. See notes and photocopies in archive. Now at pitt farm culmstock.
