One of three fishponds contained in 3 separate constraint areas concentrated around the farm of Winslade which has medieval origins. The 3 fishponds survive as earthworks, each one preserved as a rectangular pond surrounding a central island. All have strongly built outer banks and the 2 larger ponds have a revetted long side built into the natural hillslope. They all differ in size, the largest lies to the NW of the farm and the smallest to the SE. The largest pond also shows evidence of banks surrounding the perimeter of the island and one bisecting it N-S.
The central fishpond lies to the SE of the northern one and is aligned approximately E-W. It measures 30.7m by 13m wide and is 0.5m deep. The pond is defined by banks to the W, S + E which measure up to 5m wide at the base, tapering to 2.6m wide at the tops and are up to 1.4m high. The central island measures 24.5m by 4.8m by 1.6m high. On the S + E sides the outer banks underlie the field boundaries. Other details: MPP AI 143369.
