dc.descriptionDescription: Preservation: The preserved length of the channel is approximately 280 m. At its northern extremity, the structure seems to disappear into the jumbled stones of the streambed. Its southern traces have been rebuilt to create a modern system described below. In several areas, the wall closer to the streambed has fallen away. ** Construction: The channel rests on a substructure of parallel walls, each raging from 0.30 to 0.60 m thick, built of schist slabs bonded with a tan-white lime mortar with densely packed stone inclusions smaller than 0.005 m. The two walls are not bonded together. The channel is 0.33 m wide and is equipped with a bedding of pink mortar 0.02 m thick that covers the floor and the interior walls, which are preserved to a maximum height of 0.03 m. ** Description: The masonry walls are built into the stream bank, and the pink mortar is laid directly on top of the walls, which are preserved to a width of 0.60–1.20 m. The interior width of the channel is 0.33 m, and its walls are preserved to a height of 0.03 m. Layered calcium carbonate deposits, 0.01 m thick, cover all preserved surfaces of the pink mortar bedding. In more recent times, a hard, white cement has been applied to the pink mortar channel to form a V-shaped conduit.en_US
