Notes about this historic site
1 A site visit as part of Planning Application No SO1/01660/FUL identified this monument as being the site of a former circular fishpond with a central mound. The earthworks were in an excellent state of preservation and perhaps should be considered for Scheduling. The interpretation as a fishpond is more likely than a Saxon fortification (see MWA 4617).
2 The location of the earthworks are shown on the Ordnance Survey 6″ second edition map of 1906.
