Full description

Medieval fishponds, scheduled as part of Thornton Abbey Augustinian monastery.

They are specifically mentioned in the list entry: ' Fed by the moat are at least two separate groups of fishponds.. The southernmost lies outside the south-east corner and consists of a small detached pool adjacent to a group of three small pools and one larger surrounded by a moat.' [1]

Aerial photographs clearly show the fishponds as earthwork features. [2 - 7]
