Full description

Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, Untitled Source (Cartographic). SDV54691.

Possible catch meadow leat marked on 1880s-90s 25" OS map. It exits from the south western corner of pond (PRN 72410) and continues west following slope contour to a former orchard below Osborne Newton Barton. A second leat below the primary leat begins at field boundary SX695456. Modern mapping suggests part of the primary leat (closest to the pond) may still run with water to SX695456. A third leat exits south eastern corner of pond.
