By my reckoning this is more or less complete, although only about 100 yards. The clay dam protects the new lock being constructed to access the River Salwarpe and the far end is just in front of an over bridge. The canal is overflowing back to the Salwarpe via a weir in the centre. This water comes from both a stream that flowed along the canal bed and water being pumped from the lock excavation.
