Description
This is marked on the 1st edition OS 1858, apparently running from the fields forming the northern part of Greenwell Mill Farm down to the mill pond belonging to Haggerstone's Mill (HER 3422). It does not appear on subsequent editions of the OS. The form and function of this feature are unknown. There are no visible remains, although "collects" are shown on the modern OS map which presumably fed the stream.
