  Putting drain in existing barn

I am in the prcess of adding on to a barn and renovating it for horses. At the site, I have a borrowed backhoe and a load of stone. Seeing those two things together it occured to me that maybe I should put a drain in the aisle of the barn. The floor is gravel, which I will be digging up to install the waterline. Once the water (and hopefully drain) is in, I will cover everything with either stonedust or sand; the better half is debating which she wants to use.

If I just dig a hole and fill it with stone and put a grate of some sort of top, will this do anything, or do I need to have a pipe at the bottom of the hole that runs out of the barn?

I've never done anything like this before, but am not afraid to try -- any suggestions on how to go about this project would be appreciated!

  Putting drain in existing barn

Just ran out to the barn to check out options, and realized that I need to pull the water away from the barn. I have a great, easy access spot to burry a drain pipe. What should be at the bottom of the pit I am digging in the barn? I understand how to put in the pipe that is carrying the water away, put don't visulaize how to get the water into that pipe.

I'll be honest; I am afraid to ask what I can and cannot do as there is a stream nearby and the regulations in this town are a bit strict. It seems silly to me that this is an issue at all, as with or without a drain we will be using and dumping the same amount of water. It's just a question of whether it gets dumped into a drain which should help spread out the water or it gets dumped in what will become a big, muddy pit.
