Structure from 1800’s Found on Building Site

A large round sandstone structure has been found during building works for the new Aurs Road in Barrhead.

after 200 years the structure re-emerges

Residents who first noticed the structure a few weeks ago started there own Facebook page to help find out what it was, indications show according to the National Library of Scotland maps that it could be a early if not the first water filtration system for Barrhead and part of Balgray and Gorbals gravitational water system.

One resident who spoke with us said it would be great to see this cleaned up and help show a piece of Barrheads history that has been preserved so well.
