Des vestiges liés à la phase de construction de l’aqueduc de la Brévenne à Limonest (Métropole de Lyon) ? by Stéphane Ardouin, Cécile André-Chaze

“…At Dardilly and Lentilly, the ditches are intersected by the pipeline’s installation trench. The dating of ceramics and of a complete tegula discovered at Limonest corroborates the likelihood that they were dug prior to or contemporary with the construction of the aqueduct.The similarity of these ditches, their repetition at regular intervals and their location on several sections of the aqueduct route suggest a global strategy relating to the construction of the aqueduct rather than to occasional repairs. …”
