A small stream from the hills west of Froxfield comes through the
village and turns southward to the canal. Where the stream meets the
canal is a complicated arrangement; a siphon culvert fed by a circular
weir taking excess water under the canal to the River Dun, the
remainder feeding into the canal pound. The canal's Act of Parliament,
1794, required that water continued to supply Oakhill Mill along the
River Dun on the south side after the canal was built.
