Description

Ballewan Byewash 3, formerly part of the Glasgow Corporation Water Works, was designed by John F Bateman in 1856. It is a roughly rectangular and symmetrical masonry enclosure situated on a sloping site, featuring a bowed projection at the northeast end. The outer face is constructed of bull-faced snecked red sandstone, while the inner face is finished in polished ashlar, topped with rounded copes.

Inside, there is a central cast-iron trough that carries a conduit between arched openings, which are highlighted by prominent voussoirs. Shallow steps are located on each side of the trough, and entrance gates are positioned over the arches. The masonry structure is designed to direct the burn to flow underneath the conduit at right angles.
