17 February 1993. Ponds and causeway.
Site visited in NLA/RCHM earthwork survey field.
Two ponds (dry), one approximately 5m x 14m x 0.4m deep joined by a leet to a larger, 17m x 40m x 0.6m deep pond on valley floor. The larger one has a now obstructed channel leading to the present watercourse. Possible fishponds.
A causeway exists to the east, heading south on the north side of valley floor, but not noticeable on the floor, then apparent on the south side where it appears amongst a group of irregular platforms, incised by probable drainage ditches. Possibly old road line, platforms may be natural.
B. Cushion (NLA) February 1993.
