IN 1969, DURING THE BUILDING OF THE MAIN BLOCK AT RISEHOLME COLLEGE, A STONE CULVERT WAS DISCOVERED. IT WAS NOT INVESTIGATED ARCHAEOLOGICALLY BUT WAS COVERED UP AGAIN, AFTER ITS COURSE AHD BEEN DIVERTED. THERE IS A STRONG POSSIBILITY THAT THE CULVERT IS FED BY A NEARBY SPRING. THERE IS NO STRONG EVIDENCE FOR OR AGAINST THE CULVERT BEING ROMAN OR CONNECTED IN SOME WAY WITH THE ROARING MEG AQUEDUCT. IF IT IS ROMAN THEN ITS CONSTRUCTION - SAID TO BE OF STONE - IS NOT REMINISCENT OF THE AQUEDUCT. {1}
