What age would a drainage system be using horse shoe tile drain laterals running into a stone headland drain ?
I have just dug into a system as above and was surprised to find the horse shoe drains and even more surprised that they fed into a stone drain.
The drains are virtually blocked solid where they meet the stone drain but after digging back for a few metres they start to clear and would flow a fair bit of water. The drains are about 9 metres apart.
From the two drains I have dug up so far it would appear that if I dug along the stone drain I could possibly get the system working well again .
What the best approach ?
