A tributary of the River Kensey is about 500 metres from its source here, and runs (to the left) along this side of a band of trees about 50 metres wide. As SX2187 : Road south of Treneglos, taken from the same spot, explains, the parish boundary between Tresmeer and Treneglos runs along the stream.
