Full Description
{1} In the valley were three dams indicating the former presence of large ponds, though these had gone by 1731. The central one is much larger, up to 2.5m high, and the area behind it was known as Dam Meadow in 1731. At that date a building stood below the dam, and this may have been a watermill.
