Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeological Services Ltd. undertook a programme of monitoring and recording during the groundworks associated with improvements to the drainage system around Crowle in the Isle of Axholme. The drains affected by this second phase of improvement works are situated in a typically low-lying area, extending from the River Trent across the Isle and partially surrounding Crowle and branching southwards towards Keadby. The affected channel was Sewer Drain, which branches southwards of Pauper's Drain. This drain was originally cut in the early to mid 19th century to improve the quality of the land. The Drainage Improvement Scheme involved cutting back vegetation and increasing depths and widths. Beneath topsoil deposits, an extensive deposit of peat was observed throughout much of the area monitored. No finds pre-dating the modern era were recovered, and no significant timbers or other objects were identified during the scheme. |
