[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 9278383, member: 86168"] we have an old mill pond, silted up a few 100 yrs ago, always been a bugger to drain. however, some in a scheduled monument field, some not, the not bit, l put into a pond yrs ago. so thought would do the other, it just holds wet. ring up EH, out they come, wonderful idea. Then :- pay for a full archaeological survey, of the area, would take someone 2 days. then pay an archaeologist to be there, when we dug it out, because you never know what someone might have thrown in the pond, l was thinking kittens in a bag, not sure what they were thinking off ! so, can l dig up the drains to get them running again ? yes. can l 'redig' the ditch that 'sometimes' ran through it ? yes, but wouldn't it look nice as a pond again. yes, it would, but at that expense, not a chance, dug the ditch, wet patch dried up. what l didn't tell them, there was no medieval village there, as they thought, because a big survey had been done, and no village there, there was elsewhere though ......................
