Monument record 68/2/10 - Medieval/Post Medieval Fishpond (Morphed Aerial Archaeology Interpretation)

Earthwork: Non-destructive fieldwork

{2} In the north west is another rectangular pond (marked 'e' on the earthwork plan) with a shallower, smaller one to the west. These may not have been part of the formal gardens.

{4} May formerly have comprised ozier beds? No visible sign of this pond from the drive to the house. The area is all under grazed pasture with no prominent pond earthworks discernable though note that it was not feasible to inspect the area more closely.
