Full Description
A fragmented stone drain was uncovered in an area of disturbance associated with numerous 20th century and more recent utilities. This feature consists of a series of large stone slabs laid flat (these were not possible to measure, due to physical access constraints). While no brick coursing remains as a result of later disturbance, these slabs are similar to those recorded for drain structure to the east of this drain, suggesting this example may have served a similar function, though lying on a different orientation and with a different construction style. Similar to culvert/drain, the construction cut is filled with a compact green clay and gravel.
