3/79 Fishpond approximately 50 - metres north-east of Waye Barton

GV II

Fishpond. Probably C17, thought by some to be medieval. Lined with large grade granite rubble with large roughly dressed granite slabs as coping. Large fishpond shaped as a figure of eight and approximately 55m from end to end. It is terraced into a north-east facing slope and therefore the outer bank drops sharply to the north-east. It is fed by 2 small streams, one into each end. On the outer bank there is a granite ashlar trough as an overflow channel and on the bed below it is the granite-lined sump through the bank. The building of this fishpond, whatever its precise date, was a major undertaking and it was deliberately built to look attractive.
