Moor Pond Woods is a large site to the west of Papplewick village. The linear project area, runing northwest to sotheast parallel with Moor Road, is 9.35 hectares in size, divided by Papplewick Lane and Linby Lane. The river Leen flows to the west of Moor Pond. The site is mostly woodland and there still remain significant earthworks associated with the industrial activity connected with cotton milling by George Robinson in the later 18th-early 19th century. (1) The turf was removed over a 5m by 4m area covering the identified remains. This revealed the curving wall on the north side and a short length of near vertical wall on the south-side. The two main features were exposed and cleaned. (2) That there was indeed a sluice in the embankment separating the two pond features. (2) The height of the sluice block exposed on the north side is close to the height of the remaining blocks at the nearby South Sluice, perhaps indicating that the two sluices were worked in conjunction with each other. Of course, if there is a block missing at the south sluice that would probably have been a little higher than the east sluice. (2) The curving wall on both sides of the central sluice blocks may suggest that water could be allowed to flow through the aperture in either direction, at different times. This is in sharp contrast to the arrangement at the South Sluice, where the curved walls on the north of the feature channel towards the south but the south wall is straight, at right angles to the direction of flow. (2) The style of stonework exposed at the East Sluice resembled the stonework in the northeast wall of the South Sluice more than that in the ‘jaws’ of the South Sluice. We have concluded that the north-east segment of the South Sluice was probably a late-stage modification, and so we could suggest that the East Sluice is likely to also be part of this later phase.
