Archaeology Notes

NN16SE 3.01 19991 60776 [NN 20214 60445 to NN 19871 60976]

Pipe Line [NAT] (centred NN 20102 60567)

OS (GIS) AIB, June 2006.

Extends onto map sheet NN26SW.

Location formerly entered as NN 19 61 (NN 191 617 to 202 604)

This pipeline delivers the water supply to the Kinlochleven Aluminium Plant (NN16SE 3.00) from the aqueduct NN26SW 3.01 to the penstocks NN16SE 3.08. The entry of water into the pipeline is presumably controlled by the Lower Penstock Valve House (NN26SW 3.03).

The location assigned to this record is arbitrary.

Information from RCAHMS (RJCM), 9 June 2006.
