Biar Aqueduct
Archaeological site in Israel
The Biar Aqueduct, or Wadi el-Biyar Aqueduct, is an ancient aqueduct in the northern Hebron Hills (Gush Etzion area), south of Jerusalem, that formed part of the city's historic water-supply system. Traditional attribution places its construction under Herod the Great (37–4 BC), but radiocarbon dating of its plasters indicates a mid-first-century CE build with second-century renovations associated with Aelia Capitolina, although it is possible that the entire system dates exclusively to the second century.

From Wikipedia
The Biar Aqueduct, or Wadi el-Biyar Aqueduct, is an ancient aqueduct in the northern Hebron Hills (Gush Etzion area), south of Jerusalem, that formed part of the city's historic water-supply system. Traditional attribution places its construction under Herod the Great (37–4 BC), but radiocarbon dating of its plasters indicates a mid-first-century CE build with second-century renovations associated with Aelia Capitolina, although it is possible that the entire system dates exclusively to the second century. The two-stage option might place its construction under the governorship of Pontius Pilate (AD 26–36). Sections were refurbished under the British Mandate in 1924 and remained in service until 1967.
