FISHPOND (B1).
FISHPOND (MEDIEVAL), PRIORS? (B2).
A second fishpond, immediately to the NE, at NGR SP87725 22740 is shown on the 1st edition 6 inch OS map of 1885 (B3).

Two medieval fishponds are visible on historic aerial photograph and remote sensing data as earthworks and were mapped as part of the Aylesbury Vale Aerial Investigation and Mapping project (EBC18604). Located in a field about 360 metres WNW of All Saints Church, Wing and centred at SP 87693 22692, two rectilinear ditches are aligned SW-NE end-to-end. They are recorded on the 1880 dated 1st edition OS map though not on the 1813 Ordnance Surveyors Drawing. The SW ditch is about 58 metres SW-NE and 12 metres SE-NE. Separated by about 5.5 metres the NW ditch is about 61 metres SW-NE and 13 metres SE-NW. On aerial photographs taken in 2022 and recent remote sensing data, the fishponds remain extant (4-8).
