Full Description
A post medieval leat feeding Castleton Mill is depicted on historic OS maps and is visible as an extant earthwork in LiDAR imagery. A network of drainage ditches feeding this leat is also visible in these sources, although only the leat itself is shown on modern OS mastermap. The course of northernmost channel appears to have been altered since c. 1903. <1-3>
