Abstract
Historical research on the Upper Wood Creek Navigation in New York State revealed the use c.1803 of brush-piling, recommended by Abraham Ogden who was aware of its use on river navigations in England. The details provided by Ogden enhance the archaeological record in England, where kid-weirs using the same technique had been known since the late medieval period for the prevention of scouring in rivers. The article concludes by examining archaeological evidence for the existence of kid-weirs on the Trent, in the Somerset Levels and for the sea defences of Romney Marsh in Kent.
