Full description
Untitled Source (Migrated Record). SDV22836.
It was not possilbe to observe the leat during trenching for sww pipeline. Its diversion around voghays was probably necessary to maintain a level course. No direct evidence for an earlier leat following a more direct course (reed and turton).
