[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7371841, member: 86168"] deepest one we found was 7/8 ft deep, at it's outlet, we were trying to sort a big puddle out, digger driver said he would have a poke by the stream, saw some water seeping out, and cleared down to the outlet, the big puddle disappeared as we watched, that was a horseshoe drain, so 200 yrs old ? Few years back hit another horseshoe drain, same field, not so deep, just like a fountain, 2/3 ft in the air ! But how much maintenance has been done on drainage systems, in recent years, other than emergency work, nowhere near enough. Virtually any digger work, you find old drains, the archaeologists showed us all the ditches, which surrounded the huts/fields etc, right back to iron age. Most of us haven't got a clue, about what is hidden beneath our feet, we were incredibly lucky to see a lot, of what is there. [/QUOTE]
