Abstract/Summary

A metric survey of part of a contour leat and a herringbone drainage system on Swap Hill was carried out in July and August 2019. The leat is part of an extensive irrigation system constructed by John Knight in Exmoor Forest in 1819 and 1820 to improve grazing. The drainage system may date to the 1820s and 1830s.
