Map

L shaped pond on 6 inch Ordnance Survey map, perhaps part of a moat.

Ordnance Survey aerial photographs may show very faint outline of long narrow rectangle completing this, but it may only be an old field enclosing the feature.
E. Rose (NAU), 2 November 1979.

Tithe map of 1834 shows this feature as simply a waterfilled pit.
Checked by E. Rose (NAU).
