Description
BORDERING RECTANGULAR FEATURE TO S ON A/P - 3 FISHPONDS?. FIELD VISIT SHOWS ONLY 1 POND REMAINING (REDUG), REST APPARENTLY FILLED IN (1).
Aerial photogaphs taken in 1996 show that the site is more extensive than previously thought and there are indications of additonal buildings (3)
A possible medieval / post medieval fishpond is visible on historic aerial photographs and remote sensing data as earthworks and was mapped as part of the Aylesbury Vale Aerial Investigation and Mapping project (EBC18604). Located immediately adjacent Pasture Farmhouse and centred at SP 77105 10910, a rectilinear bank up to 11 metres wide encloses an internal area about 70 x 21 metres. This has been interpreted as a former fishpond. On recent remote sensing data, the earthworks remain extant (4-6).
