More information : TQ 3909 7766: Conduit arch under One Tree Hill.
Recorded during the RCHME Greenwich Park Survey, Sep-1993 to Feb-1994.
A semi-circular brick and stone facade, originally the entrance to a conduit running north to south under One Tree Hill, but now blocked.
The facade consists of three elements; a central block flanked by two curving 'arms', which slope downwards to ground level. The arms are of brick, in Flemish Bond, and are butt-jointed to the central block; they appear to be later additions.
The central block stands 2.2m high and is 2.2m wide. The construction is brick in Flemish Bond with a coping of stone slabs. A brick arch, 1.35m high and 0.75m wide and now bricked up, formed the original entrance to the conduit. There is a stone plaque above the arch, similar to that on the Conduit House below Crooms Hill (see TQ 37 NE 38), but the inscription is now illegible.
The brick roof of the conduit can be seen briefly immediately behind the conduit head, running southwards under One Tree Hill. The conduit is now inaccessible, but Webster records that a branch ran eastwards in the direction of Maze Hill (2).
