River Deer

The River Deer is river in Devon, a tributary of the River Tamar, joining it at North Tamerton.

Toponomy[]

The root of the name is uncertain, since no early forms have been found (in 1929 to 1931 Deer is used in Moore's History of Devonshire). A suggested back-formation is from , perhaps supported by aqua de Dyraton from 1282 in the Assize Rolls.^[1]
