Full description

Cropmarks of a duck decoy pond; out of use by the early 19th century, it was ploughed up sometime between 1848 and 1886. The decoy took the form of a double-ditched oval enclosure containing a squarish pond with curving pipes at each corner. Similar to nearby examples at Skellingthorpe (PRN60297) and South Carlton (PRN50372), also created by the Monson family. {1}{2}{3}{4}{5}
