HALLETTS LANE WATER CONDUIT - History
The area around Yandoit was extensively mined for gold from the mid 1850s to about 1910. the site is located between two recorded gold mining sites, features of which include pits, mullock heaps, water races and dry stone walls. In latter years the land has been used for agricultural crops and grazing.HALLETTS LANE WATER CONDUIT - Interpretation of Site
The purpose of the conduit is uncertain. The modifications made to the conduit at Hallets Lane suggest that it pre-dates the road construction. It is likely that the conduit was used in water management, possibly associated with the goldmining activity in the area.
Heritage Inventory Description
HALLETTS LANE WATER CONDUIT - Heritage Inventory Description
A stone water conduit is located approximately 400mm below ground, south of Hallets Lane in Yandoit and runs for about 160m. The southern end emerges to become an open stone lined channel and the northern end goes under Hallets Lane and emerges at Yandoit creek.
The underground section is made of local sedimentary stone constructed into a 450mm x 450mm square conduit. The internal aperture is approximately 250mm(w) x 200mm(H). The open sections are mostly lined with local stone to form a channel.
Physical Conditions: The capping on the northern section has collapsed. The remainder is in good condition.
