Dol-y-Mynach The ‘Unfinished Dam’. Elan Valley Rhayader Wales

Rhayader The Elan Valley dams Dol-y-Mynach The dam that wasn't finished The Doly-y-Mynach is the first of three dams that were proposed by the chief engineer James Mansergh as the second phase of his Elan Valley development plan. He proposed the damming of the Claerwen Valley to expand the supply of water to meet the predicted growth of consumers. The dam’s foundations had to be constructed before it was prone to be submerged by the flooding of the Caban Coch reservoir. The Doly-y-Mynach was due to be completed following the completion of the Elan Valley reservoir; however, it never came to pass. Today, the dam remains as it was left in 1904 and it is referred to as the ‘unfinished dam’.
