The National Monuments Service's description

An estate map of Barbavilla Demesne shows two rectangular shaped ponds aligned NNE-SSW to the N of Barbavilla House that are annotated 'Old Fish Pond's' (NLI, MS 21 F. 48 (009) ). The location of these two fish ponds are now covered by a tree plantation that is visible on Digital Globe aerial photographs. The shape and location of the tree plantation corresponds roughly with the shape and alignment of the fish-ponds.
