SX 55966 72263. Stone-lined and stone-faced (granite) drain running south-north under the Princetown Branch track bed. The interior of the drain is 0.54m wide and 0.63m high with a rubble stone floor. The main, covered, section of the drain is 5.2m in length. It has a c.2.1m long open channel on its lower (north) side, most of which is largely on this (higher) side of fence DR+T_GWRP_037. The open channel has stone-lined sides, which have partially collapsed.
The drain is generally in a good condition. A couple of stones have fallen from above the south-facing lintel and are now probably lying half-buried in the approach channel. The interior of the drain is largely clear of obstructions.
