Abstract:

This brief note corrects an aspect of our 2024 paper looking at the evidence for the route of the Dorchester aqueduct in which we attributed a previously hypothesised route for the aqueduct to Christopher Sparey-Green. In our 2024 paper on the Dorchester aqueduct (Manley et al. 2024), Fig. 3, depicting the routes for the Dorchester aqueduct previously suggested by other scholars, shows a route that we termed the Sparey-Green route (also discussed on p. 89 of the paper). This was based on Sparey-Green’s identification of a spring near the Frampton villa as lying ‘at approximately 84m OD, on the right level to have fed the confirmed channel nearer Dorchester, if falling at a gentle gradient’ (Sparey-Green 1995, 135). However, we recognise that Sparey-Green did not explicitly suggest a route by which this water source could supply the aqueduct as depicted on our Fig. 3. We are happy to publish a revised image reflecting this (Fig. 1). (Figure presented)
