Summary
Two leats follow a parallel route around the contour of the hillside; they were dug for the Stanlake Eluvial streamworks. The source of water for these leats was the surface water run-off from Leeden Tor. A second pair of leats brought water from the east to the streamworks from the area north-east of Black Tor. Partially recorded in 2007/8 survey visits.
