- DAM (Late 19th C - 1867 AD to 1900 AD)
Description
A pair of rubble-built parallel linear walls, set 1.2m apart, extend to a length of 32m across the width of the Glencoyne Beck and stand to a maximum height of 2m. The walls have been erected with a significant batter, giving them a triangular cross-section, and a small stone-arched aperture was noted at the northern end, through which water still flowed. The centre of the structure has collapsed and to the west, a channel cut into the ground has largely silted up. The feature may have been used to wash sheep prior to the widespread introduction of sheep dipping.
