A serpentine water filled pit up to circa 10m long and over 220m long is visible on aerial photographs of 1946 onwards and on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017 at Newnham Park, Sparkwell.
The visible earthworks correspond with a fishpond depicted on 19th century maps probably associated with the creation of the late-17th to early-18th century park. The pond was probably supplied with water by leats descending from the north.
