Fishpond retaining walls approximately 150 metres to south-east of West Molland Barton. Fishpond retaining walls. Probably early 18th century. Coursed stone rubble, parts laid vertically and unmortared. Series of three irregularly-shaped fishponds divided by dams, below a spring in the valley to south-east of West Molland Barton. Unmortared retaining walls to ponds and mortared rubble retaining wall to bank behind ponds. One pond has small island. Although the retaining walls probably only date back to the 18th century it is likely that the fishponds are much earlier possibly dating back to the 16th century.
