Monument record TQ 67 SE 361 - Excavation of the brick sluice in the Randall lower lake dam

Summary

An occasional stream forming the NE boundary of the Randall Manor site has been blocked by earth dams at three points. In front of the lowest dam a lake has forms in periods of modest rainfall. A brick facing in an English Bond, inclined at 12 deg away from the lake, rested against the last 5 meters of the earth dam. A vertical slot in the brickwork extends downwards into the lake and is believed to be a sluice for controlling the level of the lake.
