Map

1994.
Name noted by E. Rose (NAU) on (S1).

1995.
Four parallel ponds aligned north northwest to south southeast are shown on (S1) within a ditched enclosure, with the eastern boundary a catch drain parallel to the River Bure. No leats or joining channels are shown. They survive as shallow reed filled depressions within marshy carr, with some possible further features of similar but less distinct nature to north. Impossible to ascertain whether other details are evident due to vegetation cover around the depressions. (S2) shows as valley floor pasture. (S3) shows named wood. Possibly associated with 1835 rebuild of Horstead Hall and park.
