The main water source for Buckland Abbey was the stream to the north of the claustral ranges. This feeds a small pond which is retained by an earthdam and held within vertical stone rubble retaining walls of some 2 metres depth. Water from the dam is then culverted in the area where the kitchens and reredorter buildings were situated.
