Earthwork mapped as 'Pond Bay' This is the dam for an extensive mill pond, and dates from the medieval period. As such it represents an unusually large such dam, rising at least 15 metres in the centre with an overall length of at least 150 metres. The pond does not appear on any OS mapping so had clearly become disused at a relatively early stage. OS mapping uses 'Old English' type face for the name, but the earthwork has no historical designation. The local conservation area appraisal does however note its significance.
