Summary
Remains of a post Medieval leat which supplied water from the head of Hooten Wheals Stream to the Henroost Openwork. An archaeological field survey in 1996 found the leat dry and silted. Although visible over its entire course, the leat was very shallow and was becoming overwhelmed by the grassy vegetation on the hillside. Its average depth was 0.3 metre.
