Aqueduct to carry the North Wilts Canal over the River Ray. 1813- 1819. Three brick culverts each of 1 brick ring. Stone string above and high walls in English bond with end piers and curved wing walls. Stone copings. Derelict at June 1985, the downstream wall partly collapsed. The only significant monument of this canal which linked the Wilts and Berks Canal at Swindon to the Thames and Severn Canal at Latton, and which much facilitated navigation from the west to London avoiding the upper Thames.
