aboideau

This dyke and aboideau served the purpose of shutting out the tide from about 600 acres of marsh land.

Ten years later Hazen & White built a new aboideau a little above the first one which had fallen into disrepair.

The work was completed in August, 1774, by the construction of an aboideau.

They were at that time employed by Simonds & White in building an aboideau and dykeing the marsh.
