Saw this cool video about someone digging down into their lawn to start a pumpkin patch and found a 19th century farm drain for catching groundwater.

Hope this is the right place for this! Please move or advise. Enjoy.

It is an interesting video, I am aware the need to stop boggy patches occurring such drains were used.
Nice history lesson,
Itsbetter in Homesteading I think with drainage.
