Full description
Newman, P., 1999, 2002, Haytor Down, Ilsington, Devon (Revised) (Report - Survey). SDV346395.
(30/03/1999) A leat recorded between the E edge of the Becka Brook streamworks at SX 7488 7796 and a point to the W of Smallacombe Rocks at SX 7523 7838. The leat continues approximately N and enters the Leighon enclosures. The channel is narrow up to only 1m wide and survives relatively un-silted to 0.5m deep, suggesting abandonment to have been in the 19c or later. There are two granite clam bridges at SX 7514 7823 and SX 7521 7831, each consisting of rectangular moorstone slabs, spanning the channel.
