Winter Hill Water Tunnel Aquaducts
It is interesting that the water channels are capped as it would seem more conducive to water catchment to have them open. It seems the builders where seeking to create a closed system and in several places the conduits can be seen to transport water parallel and close to other natural streams of quite high volume. In some areas although there is no evidence above ground there are labels for aquaducts and it may be found that the channels are even carried over rivers and streams.
The stone structures that are labelled aquaduct are of a seemingly older style than the stonework associated with the later and larger reservoirs and are more likely to be contemporary with the water channels. Interestingly the aquaduct structures are of a size that could enclose the water channels but this is so far unexplored.
