Full description
Best, J., 2005, Archaeological monitoring of the Ottery St Mary flood alleviation scheme, 6-7 (Report - Watching Brief). SDV322702.
A ten metre section of channel 0.7 metres wide and 0.75 metres deep was excavated during works in connection with the flood alleviation scheme. The channel probably represents a former course of the mill leat. Part of a timber revetment along the sides of the channel consisted of a number of vertical stakes and horizontal planking with iron nails surviving.

Leat probably associated with the former system of leats and mills that operated on the east bank of the River Otter during the late medieval and post medieval periods and may have fed the medieval and later predecessor to the present Town Mill.
