Description

This aqueduct lies within the section completed in 1812 under William Crosley. The line of this canal closely follows the contours with the result that instead of locks there are embanked aqueducts on sharp bends. In several places these streams serve as feeders for the canal with half their water being diverted into the canal and the remainder passing under the aqueduct. In this case the engineering of the canal also included a pond in woodland immediately beneath the canal and remains of its masonry dam still exist, approximately 4m high.

Masonry revetment on downhill side forms the embanked aqueduct to carry the canal around the corner and over the stream which passes under a low semicircular arch with voussoirs; no parapets. West side, including overflow, not accessible.
