Description of this historic site

Fishponds, used for the breeding and storage of fish. They were probable associated with a Medieval Manor. They are still visible as earthworks, and are situated at the south of Umberslade Park.

Notes about this historic site

1 A fishpond to the S of the moat is 36m by 50m and is mainly wet with a maximum depth of 1.7m.
3 There is also a second fishpond to the NW close to the E arm of the moat (PRN 1134). This pond appears to have a rectangular central island to its S. A channel leads from its S bank and connects with the N of the second fishpond. The latter is rectangular and fairly substantial. The retaining banks are visible all round except on the W where the bank has been cut through by a roadside hedge. The SE of this pond is still waterfilled.
