Pond in water gardens. Completed 1728. For John Aislabie. Stone and clay lined. Built on small semicircular turf terrace on the west side of the Canal, at its north end, and framing the statue of the Wrestlers (qv). This group of terrace, pond and statue was originally balanced by a semicircular amphitheatre at the south end of the Canal, where the original statue of Hercules remains (Walker). For historical details see Moon and Crescent Ponds, with which this forms a group. The Reservoir (qv) at the south end of the gardens is sometimes referred to as Half Moon Pond.
