A catchwater channel designed to intercept streams flowing off the upper slopes of Muggleswick Common and diverting the water into Hisehope Reservoir. It appears that the channel has been cleared of vegetation since early 2012 (see Image). The wall marks the boundary of improved farmland surrounding Lamb Shield Farm.
