Abstract: |
This document is a report containing the methodology and results of a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording which took place with works associated with the improvement of several drains. The drains involved in the scheme lay in an area of low lying land in the Isle of Axholme, from the River Trent across the Isle and partially surrounding Crowle, and branching south towards Keadby. The affected drains were Paupers Drain, Old River Drain, Wrays Drain and Sewer Drain. All of these drains were originally constructed in the early to mid 19th century to increase the quality of the land. The Drainage Improvement Scheme involved clearing vegetation from the sides of the drains, and excavating to increase the depth and width by 0.50m. During the course of the monitoring and recording, one undated linear feature was uncovered. No finds predating the modern era were observed or retained, and no suitable timbers and no archaeologically significant objects were identified during this work. |
