Millrace from Mabel's Mill (HER 1402) to Deep Dene House Flint Mill (HER 4033) to Busy Cottage Corn Mill (HER 4137), where it ran into a mill pond (HER 5683). Would have been clay lined originally. A large proportion of the race survives as an impressive earthwork. It is best viewed from the modern wooden footbridge which crosses it at NZ2610 6662. A modern sewer runs through it.
