Summary

The fragmentary remains of a disused leat lie along the gentle NE-facing slope of Langridge. This poorly preserved feature comprises a ditch 0.6m wide and 0.15m deep with a very slight bank 0.2m high on its downslope margin. It is visible in only two short sections and probably ran from the North Teign River to tin workings on the floodplain of the Stonetor Brook.
