What looks like two green feet (in a baby-grow?) are still kicking, but most of the water from the now nameless waterway has obviously been channelled into the canal. Further downstream the meanders can be seen as faint shapes on the ground - see Image The area is a mass of crop and soil marks, many related former creeks through the former marshland, and to salterns. As for the lock, it is simply a movable weir for regulating the height of the water in the canal. The sea lock is further downstream.
