| Description | Ruined penstock and part race, partially demolished to enable construction of a road which appears to have gone through an arch behind the penstock. Penstock rises with two tiers on the north-east and south- west sides and four tiers on the south-east face. The second tier of the front face has a steep sloping front face.Construction is of basalt irregular rubble with some coursing with large stones as edgeing at the top of each step. Chinking is of basalt and limestone. Finish is in plaster, possibly originally pink with some stones expressed through the plaster (on north-west face under where the arch was.) There are indications of an arch in the demolished area. Penstock base measures 4.20 x 7.9 metres. Race is 11.50 in length x 1.45m wide and with a channel 0.55m wide. The gap from the severed end of the race to the severed end of the penstock is 9.50m. Leat curves and is wider at the highest gradient of the hill (plot no. 18 & 19) before straightening out to approach penstock. Updated by SEZ and measured sketch & drawing. |
