Full Description
{2} Immediately to the south west of the present sewage plant is another set of ponds, apparently filled by separate springs on the hillside. The southernmost is a marshy rectangular depression with an outfall-channel leading from its north east corner into another larger rectangular pond. The latter was also fed by water from a rectangular pond to the south west which has in its centre a flat-topped mound 1.5m high with square ends.
{3} Chicken run appears to occupy a considerable part of the earthworks south of the sewage works. Exact extent and effect on earthworks very difficult to judge.
