A historic environment assessment has been undertaken by AC archaeology during September and October 2014 as part of forthcoming planning applications for proposed mixed use development on c. 70 hectares of land to the northwest of Cullompton, Devon.
A broad L-Shaped earthwork ditch which measures approximately 8.5m in width and extends from Rull
leat, at its western extent, towards the east, with a sharp angular corner, where the ditch then continues downslope towards the northeast. The earthwork may represent the remains of a catch meadow system, diverting the flow of water from Rull Leat to irrigate land further downslope via a series of gutters which are no longer visible. It is also equally likely, however, that the earthwork forms part of a simple leat or drain connecting Rull Leat to a broadly parallel drain located further to the north.
