The source is very close to West's Meadow, Aldermaston SSSI, from where the stream travels East, passing through Upper Moor's Gulley to the South off AWE Aldermaston. A tributary joins the stream here, arriving from Decoy Pond, within the AWE site. This particular area, identified on maps as Roundwood Copse is also an SSSI Decoy Pit, Pools and Woods.

Further East the stream travels through the woodland of Benyon's Inclosure, and the watercourse is ponded here, at Kiln Pond. Just to the south of the pond is The Frith, an Iron Age Hill fort. Also in the area, further to the South, is Silchester Roman Town. After flowing further East and to the South, the stream joins the Foudry Brook.
