Field Visit (5 April 2005 - 7 April 2005)
Two sluice gates with piers built of concrete. They control the water flow to Carse Pond and then Swan Pond, by allowing it to be redirected by a drain to Hogston Burn. One of the wooden boarded gates survives, but the other is missing. The sluice piers had iron fittings to allow the gates to
be locked in position. Similar gates exist at the Fire Pond (CUZ 154). Not present on the 1st OS 6” map.
