The eastern of the 2 channels carrying water presumably to the water pressure engine shaft. The source of this water is not apparent. David Bick (The Old Metal Mines of Mid-Wales, Part1, page 36) states "the leat that brought water is to the right of the track from Ffair Rhos to Esgair Mwyn". There is now no obvious trace of this leat and as both places lie downhill from Llwyn Llwyd neither one is the source.
