(22/02/1989) [NMR SX68SW72] SX 64448085 to SX 64858056. A leat 1.1m to 1.5m wide, with a maximum depth of 0.6m, runs SE from the S corner of "The Sheepfold" (SX 68 SW 64). It crosses pasture fields below Stannon Tor and is lost in the peat cuttings above Stannon Bottom. Its purpose is puzzling: it might be expected that water would be taken to the starch works and later sheepfold but the slope indicates an opposite flow.
(22/02/1989) [NMR SX68SW74] SX 64319082 to SX 64678048. A leat, 1.0m to 1.2m wide with a maximum depth of 0.3m starts in a small marshy combe NW of The Sheepfold. It runs SE, largely through rough grazing, W of Stannon Tor, cutting newtake walls at SX 64308088 and SX 64638054, before petering out around SX 64668049.
This leat is possibly a detached part of the leat on Greyhound Farm, SX 68 SW 75.
