Full description
1. Moat-like feature. Post Medieval fish ponds, probably 18th century.
2. Fish ponds and water gardens dating from 1825, associated with Kings Mill House (see MCB19363).
A homestead moat on the N of the River Cam or Granta and fed by it. It measures overall 65.0m N-S by 60.0m transversely. The moat, averaging 9.0m in width and 0.5m deep, is water filled from the river through a sluice at the SE angle and has a piped outfall at the NE corner. There is no trace of access to the island, which is covered by mature trees and scrub. There is no evidence of occupation but a rectangular fishpond has been cut through the interior.
