Full description
Brick structure resembling polygonal chimneypot about 2m high rising above stream where it emerges from tunnel apparently from hydraulic ram NHER 6519. Inside can be seen rusted machinery. Is this another ram?
Not mentioned on NIAS survey (S1) of hydraulic rams on estate but there are discrepancies in their records for these.

There are photographs of this structure in (S2). It is described an octagonal injection tank for the hydraulic rams. The metalwork inside is described as glavinised iron and as inlet and outlet pipes.
Information from (S2).
D. Robertson (NLA), 5 April 2006.
In fact documents filed under NHER 42796 show that this is the injection tank for the rams at NHER 6519.
