Whitebrook Wireworks Leat is a Post Medieval and Modern period water supply channel located in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument (MM292). The leat was constructed to serve the wireworks operations at Whitebrook, conveying water necessary for the industrial processes and power requirements of the works. As an engineered watercourse integral to the site's functioning, the leat represents the infrastructure investment required to support metal manufacturing in this location during the post-medieval industrial period. The survival of this feature provides evidence of the water management practices and industrial organisation that characterised wireworks operations in Wales.
