this intake removes water from Clatteringshaws Loch and allows it to enter the tunnel which takes it through to Glenlee Powerhouse some 6 kilometres in length. The intake houses large roller gates hoisted from the internal steel gantry. This is a relatively standard intake, with the tower housing a single roller gate to isolate the tunnel through to Glenlee. The intake has only limited architectural detailing and does not form part of a cohesive design scheme with other items on the scheme. P L Payne, 1988, 24; E Wood, 2002, 50; G Hill, 1984.
