Halberton: lane near Leonard Farm The hump in the lane indicates the course of the now vanished Moorstone Leat. It was extant in 1603 when a map was prepared showing its course and the owners of the fields it passed through: it was an irrigation leat which terminated near Moorstone Barton, then owned by the Wyndham family. In places the leat ran in a 30’ deep cutting: it doesn’t entirely follow the contours. Tapped in the 19th century to power farm machinery at Sutton Barton, it was fed by springs below Remberton

Halberton: entrance to Sutton Barton Beyond the house are two ponds; one dry, one filled in. They were supplied from the Moorstone Leat and in the 19th century powered a waterwheel in a barn on the left of the drive.

Halberton: near the Pond Farm turning The kink in the road marks one of the places where the Moorstone Leat - extant circa 1603-1910 or so - crossed under the lane in culvert. It was an unusual leat in that it didn't follow the contours and in places ran in deep cutting: a minor feat of engineering for the early seventeenth century. Indeed it may have been constructed at an earlier date: it was used primarily for irrigation, but possibly also for potwater
