stone drain การใช้

• A system of stone drains was constructed to replace the previous open ditches.
• Although the facilities themselves have gone, there is a very clear length of stone drain, still supplied by a diverted stream.
• The stone drain probably drew water from the Grange Stream, a Mayne River tributary that runs just south of the site ( the stream is now culverted ).
• The track has since been partly re-formed as a graded road but contains some sections, particularly between Cradle Creek and the North Palmer River, which can demonstrate the original construction containing steep pinches, cuttings and stone drains.
• This included the re-instatement of above ground stone drains-mostly with the original stone but some realignment; repairs to the stonework of the crossings over the drainage system; and conversion of an early well to a pump house ( with recent stonework ).
• Lit by only two loops, with steeply plunging sills, flanking a probably inserted and now robbed-out fireplace in the NE gable wall, the basement contains wall-cupboards in the NW, SE and SW walls, and a small, stone drain near the SW end of the SE wall.
• An excavation of part of the church site was carried out in 1999, in connection with M50 link road works, and found light traces of Grange of Baldoyle or later estate works, including domestic refuse pits and a wide wall, and remains of a long stone drain, and small stone " water house " probably containing controls for water flow into fish ponds which existed adjacent until at least the nineteenth century, with at least one surviving until 1972.
