Top - The derelict roundhouse near Coates during 1986. This is the only one of the five structures on the canal that is in this sorry state.

In common with Marston Meysey and Inglesham, this roundhouse had an inverted roof - now completely disappeared, as seen in the above photo taken looking up through the inside of the roundhouse.

Below - The roundhouse as it looked during the spring of 2003. Even with the ivy removed and a few minor repairs undertaken, it remains somewhat forlorn.
