Outfall to Wilton reservoir, 1836 by John Blackwell, for the Kennet
and Avon Canal Co. Brick with stone corners and timber sluices.
Three sluices in row, restored, controlling outfall water at
various levels, with weir to 2 and channel to feeder cut. Two weir
sinks for overflow, with piped outfall beneath apron also to feeder
cut. Feeder has gauge weir and channel to pound below Lock 61
