Description
A triangular pond of uncertain date is visible on historic aerial photographs and remote sensing data as earthworks and was mapped as part of the North Buckinghamshire Aerial Investigation and Mapping project (EBC18304). Located north of Cowpen Wood, Thornton, and centred at SP 76975 35247.
