Full Description
A brick and stone drain. This drain was encountered at a depth of 0.4m below the present ground level and runs on an east/west alignment. The drain is 0.45m in width and constructed using a red brick base laid perpendicular, with three courses of unfrogged stretcher-laid red bricks (length: 240mm, width: 110mm, thickness: 60mm) one course deep with a flat stone covering of varying sizes (maximum length: 500mm, width: 450mm, thickness: 80mm, minimum length: 330mm, width: 250mm, thickness: 80mm). Mortar used in the construction of this drain appears to be lime-based. Similar to other drain and culvert structures located in the trench, the construction cut is filled with compact green clay.
