Full Description
{2} A subrectangular fishpond, bounded by a continuous bank which rises to 1.5m high at the east end where it forms the main dam. Until recently it was dry, but it has now been repaired, filled with water and restocked with fish. Near the north west corner is a circular mound, which still stands 0.5m high above the water. The pond appears to have cut through the closes of the deserted village to the north and may thus post-date the abandonment of the latter.
{3} Plan; perhaps replaced the 3 ponds referred to. Name: Floxham Pools
