Surviving internal features include a low bank and two shallow rectangular former ponds: a larger pond lies outside the area to the N. The area has been damaged by quarrying and a possible former tennis court (local info). The area was known as The Park in 1805, Park Hovel and Yard in 1841. [RCHM plan].
