Monument record 265/2/6 - Medieval Fishpond (Morphed Aerial Archaeology Interpretation)

Crop/soilmark+Earthwork: Non-destructive fieldwork

{3} Aerial photos NCCAP: SP5948/001-3.

{4} Earthworks which may have been part of the manorial complex. Further north west, in the valley bottom, the OS plan shows two roughly rectangular depressions with a ditch on the north west, also called Old Gravel. Though these have been partly destroyed, enough remains on the ground to show that these too were fishponds, with an overflow channel bypassing them on the north west side.
