Description
Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import:
Pond bay shown on OS 1:10000 map as an antiquity. <1>
Seems to be part of a series of ponds, presumably associated with Little Easton Manor. Aerial photograph shows surviving ponds etc. from part of linear fishpond system. In addition cropmarks of (low validity) trackway and field boundaries. <2> - <4>
April 1975. Field survey.
A probable pond bay found on field investigation. It is about 90.0m long, and traverses a shallow valley where a north-east flowing stream bisects it. The bank has a maximum height of 2.5m and is scrub covered. There is no local information of a mill site here, but the land immediately on the east side of the bay is named 'Millfield' on the tithe map of 1839. Published survey (25") revised. <5>
