The National Monuments Service's description
In woodland, on a gentle W-facing slope, c. 20m to N of estate track. Two rectangular ponds (long-axis c. E-W) with rounded corners. Southern pond (dims. 6m N-S; 22m E-W; D min. 0.6m) has inlet drain entering at SE and small rectangular indent at W-end, S-side. Larger pond (dims. 7m N-S; 31m E-W; D min. 1.1m) is c. 10m to N. Ponds linked by linear, U-shaped drain (long-axis c. N-S; L 10m; basal Wth 0.55m; overall Wth 2m; D 0.60m) toward E-ends, which probably regulates water levels between them. Water in both is stagnant and probable build up of organic debris from overhanging sally trees. Possibly an estate feature associated with Grove House (TS070-076) c. 235m to SW, though on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map they are referred to as 'Old Fish Ponds'.
