Details Remains of drainage operations. Dronner's Dyke was a long, piled construction built in 1677 by Dronner, a Dutch engineer, but shortly afterwards destroyed in a storm. Its purpose was to facilitate the draining of the Basin and the reclaiming of circa 2,000 acres of land. At low tides the remains are partly visible. The name is sometimes corrupted to Drainer's or Drainner's Dyke.
