(16/03/2020) Reservoir west of Rubble Heap Quarry, Haytor Down at SX 75305 77395 (1280 feet / 390m above sea level). Measures approximately 20m by 18m. Probable reservoir as it has a straight low bank defining its west side, and some straight-ish edges. Rushes in eastern half. Possibly originated as a natural pool, given its col siting. No nearby tinworking remains to explain possible function.
