Modern overflow leat.


The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1867-8 depicts a watermill complex, annotated 'Dye Works' at Kewaigue.


The complex was powered by a 930m long leat leading water from a point at SC3544574115 on the Middle River. The leat ended in a small millpond immediately adjacent to the mill complex. Just upstream of the millpond, a sluice allowed overflow water to be led to the Middle River.


The grid reference relates to the original midpoint of the overflow for indicative purposes, downstream of which it still survives.
