guy Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) A possible aqueduct has been found at Caistor Saint Edmund, UK, site of the Roman town of Venta Icenorum. The pipeline was thought to be underground. Quote The excavations have yielded evidence of an aqueduct, which archaeologists believe may have carried water from a spring to the sacred temple site in the second century AD. While the pipes have not been found, the iron collars which would have held the aqueduct in place were unearthed. "The majority were like this - pipelines in the ground. This one is almost certainly linked to the temple complex. "It is quite an unusual find and is quite significant. Such aqueducts worked through gravity, so it is likely that the water came from tapping into a spring somewhere higher up."
