(01/05/1995) Short length of leat running from SX 58356601 to SX 58106596. Leat leads from the lower side of the Lee Moor China Clay Leat at SX 58356601 and survives as an earthwork lying approximately parallel to the clay leat until they merge again at Spanish Lake. It is considered to represent an earlier course of the Lee Moor china clay leat, and may have also been used by tinners. The leat channel is 2m wide and 0.4m deep, whilst the bank upcast downslope during its construction survives as a 3m wide and 0.8m high earthwork. Within the area defined by this scheduling the leat has been slighted by the track between Ditsworthy and Hentor Farm and pillow mound (SX56NE/236/21). Whilst immediately upslope of pillow mound (SX56NE/236/9) the leat and bank have been removed, presumably an activity related to warrening.
