The photos above are of a drain exposed half way between Hauxley and Amble. It has steadily been exposed, coming out from a natural dip in the dunes and land beyond, presumably a field drain outlet to make the fields less wet? It had a stone covering to it, some of which is still in situ. The interesting thing was the heavily stratified sand / soil where it was exposed continues unbroken above and to both sides, presumably it must have been dug into a trench many years ago and the sand has steadily covered it causing the unbroken layers to form.
