(Site visited 3/4/1983) This leat is in use and serves Ruddycleave Farm. There is a sluice and small reservoir at the take-off from Ruddycleave Water at grid reference SX73537485. After passing under the road, it flows through Ruddycleave fields to a point above the farm, then turns downhill to rejoin the stream by the driftway.
