Area now arable, cropmarks of part of flooded area, most channels upstream still visible.
1995. Visit.
In conversation with [1] who remembered them being bulldozed, many brick culverts and sluices were destroyed. West end ground visited, no features except brick culvert across main channel. The complex was formed in 1802 and modified soon after.
