Former culvert inlet from Thirdpart Mill Dam [passing under Duntreath Avenue. Site now housing (c. 1960/70s semi-detached but probably replaced earlier c. 1930s bungalows).

Alternative Names: None recorded.

Notes: Earliest section of Duntreath Avenue (south end) built c, 1938 along the line of the dam. May have stopped at or before outfall culvert. As road continued over the original culvert outfall the culvert was probably altered or incorporated in a new culvert under the c. 1938 road. 1939 map suggests mill overflow was separate from the road culvert with road at the foot of the former dam (but the map detail is vague).
