One medium size oblong feature is visible as an earthwork and transcribed from aerial photographs taken in 1946. It is interpreted as a pond of medieval or later date and grouped with a water channel to the north-west.

The probable pond and 'The Hermitage' to the north are depicted on the 1904-1906, but not the 1880s-1890s Ordnance Survey mapping, suggesting that both date to the late nineteenth or early twentieth century and that they may be associated.
