Tooled ashlar, with timber sluice gate and iron hoist mechanism.

North-east side has parapet; remainder obscured by later earth infill. Carries the main A 161 road. Besides serving as a land drain, this watercouse was also used for improving the nearby low lying farmland by warping, a process whereby silt was deposited by controlled flooding. One of only 2 sluices in the Axeholme - Marshland area retaining the original hoist mechanism, (the other on the Folly Drain, Derrythorpe Road, Keadby with Althorpe parish (qv)), and the most complete example of a warping drain sluice in the area.
