Possible leat to the north of River Lowman, cut by the construction of the North Devon Link Road. The course is difficult to follow but it appears to join a hedgebank at SS97501352. Other details: Photo.

A linear hollow cut by the North Devon Link Road appears to be a natural stream bed. It is not shown on the Tithe Map but is depicted on the 1890 6 inch Ordnance Survey map. A sluice is marked at SS97501352 which may explain the piece of mortared stone walling built into the hedgebank here.
