Itbegins abruptly on the north bank of the stream some 50m. Upstream from the present Intake Site, and follows
this bank an undetennined distance east. It does not appear that this dyke originally extended further west, but stone may have been removed along the missing section to provide fill for the dam at the intake site. <1>
