Which ones are you thinking of? I think there are several examples on the unnavigable parts of the Monmouth. It's been a while since I was there, but I can remember being surprised to see one on the main line not far down from the present foot of navigation, and I have a feeling there was more than one in that vicinity. Also, aren't the Rogerstone locks on the Crumlin branch built that way (except for the triple), i.e. with pairs of locks separated by a very short pound extended to the side through a culvert?
