Yes some very large raised manholes in those woods near the farm, a lot of water down there, plus there is other odd brick bits n bobs of old structure. Something was in there at one time.

Something was in there at one time. The occupier was rather dismissive about the place last year claimuing much was of more recent origin. Not a helpful chap but there is alot going on around there worth a proper look.

It's where that Google street view is though would you agree? The picture shows two culverts starting to converge. As intimated one is the wyke back the other the easterley road beck and today you can see the pair converge as they come from underground. The road level is well above the culverts here so as you say there's been some groundworks altering the land levels.On the other pics the "ford" seems to be the easterley road beck as it runs over asket hill.

That's exactly what our works mapping shows! The Leodis pic being under the pavement on the south side of the road.

Is that this too?http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?reso ... ifier=9031

Yes, for some reason the beck on the right runs through two smaller pipes.

I suspect that's earlier than the previous picture. The stream on the right is the original course/temporary flow while they built the culvert to its left, into which it was then diverted. But why build a second culvert parallel to the new one? Perhaps they understimated the flow????
