A linear mound of stonework has been recorded approximately 8m north of Linby Lane, measuring 3.6m long and 0.7m wide. It has been noted during previous works, and is thought to be remains of the method used to manoeuvre water acorss Linby Lane. How the watercourse crossed is unknown, as the road has been widened and the connectoin between the two sides of the roads lost, this stone could be the remnants of such a structure.

Approximately 160m north of Linby Lane, a longer yet intermittent line of stonework was recorded forming an edge to the shallow millpond to the west of the heavily silted leat. The southernmost part of the stonework was found to be loose on the surface. However the alignment of both forms of stonework could indicate some form of linear structure.

Two land drains have been laid down east to west from the fields and into the leat banks to empty water into the low lying former mill pond area. The south drain approximately 87m north of Linby Lane has been excavated through the leat banks to a depth of 1m, the north drain is sat on the silted base of the leat and therefore is only intruding on the eastern bank of the leat at this point.

More stonework was uncovered at the western side of the Upper Dam site. The stonework is thought to be a drain, with 1x1m exposed in the side of the wester edge of the former mill pond.
