The Dartmoor Tinworking Research Group (DTRG) were asked to survey an area south-east of Norsworthy Bridge at the eastern end of Burrator Reservoir by Southwest Lakes Trust (SWLT). The area is close to the car-park and includes a wheelpit, launder embankment, leat, stream work and many other features.
