The leat extends from Southern Bridge at its eastern extent, westwards towards Meneghy Mill, where it turns towards the southwest and terminates at Leat Mill, at an approximate total length of 760m. The leat is first depicted on the Lifton Parish Tithe Map of approximately 1838-48 and remains partly depicted on the 2016 Ordnance Survey MasterMap. The earthworks of this former leat transcribed as part of this survey deviate slightly from the course of the leat shown on historic maps, suggesting that the leat was re-dug at some time. Map object partly based on this source.
