This leat, previously recorded as a point at ST28670400, appears to be visible as a curvilinear earthwork ditch, circa 3 metres in width, on aerial photographs taken from 1996 onwards, and on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. It broadly follows the contour and seems to be taken off the watercourse at circa ST2868003965. It is not depicted on the available historic maps and is interpreted as post-medieval or early modern in date, having become disused by the late-19th century.
