	Leats & Waterways (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Photographs of the sluice-gates and leats were shown to the meeting and one immediately realised that there are many such remains on the moors if you know what to look for.
		In the Plym Valley there are remains of blowing houses on the Drizzlecombe Brook and by studying these leats in that area it can be seen that the same water was used several times before being returned to the rivers.
		Sir Frances Drake, Mayor of Plymouth in 1593, decided that there was an increased need for drinking water for the city, so he had a leat, known now as Drake’s Leat, built at the cost of £300, £150 to build and £150 as compensation to landowners across whose land it had to be cut.

		The two alignments marked 5 and 10 degrees, (actually 185 and190) headed toward the Shaugh Lake china works where there is also at least one hut circle.
		The one marked 140 heads toward the structures at Trowelsworthy and the one at 120 degrees, toward Drizzlecombe.

		Man has left his mark everywhere on the Moor – in Neolithic tombs like Spinster’s Rock or the ceremonial stone rows at Drizzlecombe.
		Bronze Age farmers dwelt in huts at Grimspound, Celtic tribes built Cranbrook hillfort and Saxons founded the Moor’s towns and villages.
		From the grim grey walls of Princetown Gaol to the splendour of Castle Drogo; from the leats and tramways which traverse the Moor to the paths and bridges maintained by the National Park Authority – man continues to influence the shape of things to come, then passes on his way.

		The menhirs and rows as seen from C3
		Drizzlecombe is a complex site, both in the complexity of its structure and from the information that the dowsing rods revealed.
		On the way in to the site, I stumbled across a small ring cairn from which I followed the rods to the Northeasternmost monolith, which is in the right middleground of the picture at the top of the page.
