FR Cet ancien aqueduc en pierres de taille, permettait le franchissement, sur le torrent "Le Céans", d'un canal d'arrosage qui prenait l'eau du Buech à Mereuil pour l'amener à Saléon.
Il est constitué de neuf arches sur une longueur totale de 65 m. La largeur est de 1,10 ml et sa hauteur maximale de 6 ml.
Matériaux d’origine : Pierres de calcaire marneux d'Eyguians, tirants métalliques, chaux éminemment hydraulique.

Aujourd'hui il n'est plus qu'un simple pont qui enjambe la rivière
