Monument record 503/0/32 - Leat Supplying Medieval/Post Medieval Fishpond (Morphed Aerial Archaeology Interpretation)

Earthwork: Non-destructive fieldwork. See Also Fishpond 503/0/3

{1} Fishpond north west of the north end of Welford. The modern stream flows to the north-west of the pond, but originally the water left the stream some 200m to the south-west and flowed in a narrow channel to a point just south-west of the pond. There the channel forked, one branch entering the pond and so filling it, the other passing along the south-east side as an overflow channel, leading back to the stream. Nothing is known of the pond's history. Plan: Fig.146.
