History
The Cringle Reservoir was constructed between 1938 and 1946 by a direct
labour force. The dam is an earth embankment with clay core and concrete
cut off. The embankment height is 21.3 metres and the freeboard about 1.5
metres with the total reservoir length being 160 metres. It has a capacity
of 14,100 cubic meters and a surface water
area of 1.8 hectares. The catchment area is 154 hectares with rainfall
coming from the south of the Round Table and South Barrule.
The Overflow is 10.67m long and is a broad crested trapezoidal weir.
The flood channel also uses the overflow channel and ends up downstream
flwoing into Silverdale Glen and joining the Silver Burn River. The Silver
Burn in turn discharges into the sea near Castletown.
Location
Cringle Reservoir is just north of the road from Ronague to Foxdale and
is on the south slopes of South Barrule. Vehicles can be parked on
reservoir land.
