The nearest watercourse on the river map is an unnamed stream, about 30 m from the middle of Kingsclere's gauges. It flows into Kingsclere Brook about 850 m downstream.
A gauge downstream shows water that has already passed this point; one upstream sees it first. Distances along the river are from the point on an unnamed stream nearest the middle of Kingsclere's gauges. From Ordnance Survey’s river map (OS Open Rivers), which leaves out small streams, ditches and culverts, so a nearer one may exist.
