(27/08/1998) SX 53818438 to SX 53398436 and SX 52438409 to SX 52098379. Two lengths of a dry leat channel are visible in the open ground immediately E and W of Bearwalls Farm. They appear to belong to the same feature and feed water from the left bank of the Walla Brook to the right bank of a stream immediately S of Willsworthy Camp. The leat remains as a denuded feature up to 1.0m wide and a maximum of 0.6m deep with a bank on its downslope, N, side. The middle course of this feature probably lay within the enclosures of Bearwalls Farm and cannot now be traced.
