Conduit Head Attached to Front of 67A

Devon

This small but functional stone structure sits at the front of 67A, a Grade II* listed building. The conduit head is a surviving example of the practical water management systems that have long served Dartmoor's scattered communities. Built to collect and direct water supply to the house, it reflects centuries of resourcefulness in drawing on the moor's natural springs and streams.

Today it stands as a quiet reminder of how rural Dartmoor households historically provided for their essential needs, capturing water from above ground sources when mains supply was not available. Such structures, modest as they are, form part of the vernacular heritage of the moor and speak to life lived close to its landscape.
