National Trust, 1984, Parke, 10 (Report - Survey). SDV287876.
A fishpond was dug in the park, probably part of the landscaping which would have accompanied the building of the present house, but possibly earlier. The pond, which is now overgrown and silted up, took water from a leat known to exist in 1640.
Exeter Archaeology, 2004, Archaeological Survey of Parke Weir, Bovey Tracey, 5 (Report - Survey). SDV290529.
The pond is an important element of the 19th century park landscape and occupies a prominent position in front of the main house at Parke. It is supplied with water from the leat to the north.
