The National Monuments Service's description
This pond is shown and named 'Old Fish Pond' on the 1842 OS 6-inch map in the townland of Brooklodge Upper (now known as Brooklodge townland). This fish-pond is referred to in the 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork - vol. 2 East and South Cork' (1994, -209) under the entry (no. 5522) for an unclassified castle (CO064-055----). The fish-pond is mentioned as follows: 'Immediately to E, 1842 map shows site of 'old fish pond'; also probably destroyed when new road constructed…'.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
