Coquet, are you referring to drainage south of The Carrs? If so, are these not drainage pipes from Newborough Colliery. Not only the colliery waste spill was removed by opencast mining. However, as I said in a previous post this drainage system ended outside the borders of opencast operations and likely to cost far too much to remove and for no benefit at the end of it. I cannot deny there may be older drainage in the same area but would mining records possibly reveal what lies there?
However, it does reach the sea within a stones throw of recent excavations, on which you provided valuable information earlier this year for site members. The two could be connected.
