Description
NRHE data transfer:
A medieval/post-medieval fishpond and/or ornamental pond is visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs. The pond is centred at TL 5251 3836 and extends for 92m NNW/SSE and measures 92m wide. Its eastern side is flanked by a linear bank forming an L-shape, imitating the arrangement of water channels 25m to the east within Audley Park. The medieval/post-medieval pond is marked on a plan of the Audley End estate dated about 1600 but was probably filled in during later 18th century landscaping. <1> <2>
