          A lot of the names for those sunken Islands have partial similarities to danish words for Islands and locations

          Actually no. Most likely they are the tracks of the animals that turned the pumps to drain the pits to allow the clay to be dug.

          I actually live here, and. I worked on the tile yards for a summer. I'll check out your theory-i think digging was started around 1840 and not long after motorised. Definitely a rail waggon for greater part of 20th Century.

          I thought that digging for clay here dated back to pre-Roman times. Certainly important in Roman times - check out the traces of old Roman roads on an OS map. Check out Barton - Scunthorpe road (the old straight one) - ancient Roman iron works?

          Iron works yes. East of the town where the industrial estate is. Scunthorpe industrialised in 1840 but it was small scale before. I will ask Barton's oldest resident about the horse/cattle rings.water was pumped from pits surely.
