The National Monuments Service's description
Situated just E of Leamaneh Castle (CL016-032002-/CL016-032003-) within a large walled garden (CL016-032001-). Two or possibly three long narrow fish ponds fed by water from a well (CL016-032004-) just outside the garden wall to W and separated from each other by low earthen banks or causeways. The most westerly pond (Wth at top 10m; Wth at base 8.4m; D 0.7-1.3m) is the most complete. The fish-ponds vary from c. 50m to c. 175m in length.
