Full Description

Visible on LIDAR:
Earthworks in Abbey Wood, including a prominent ditched enclosure, with internal features, on the same alignment and apparently related to known structures within the Scheduled Abbey site, immediately to the south.
A group of three linear fishponds, Medieval in form.
A large linear pond (possibly a flight pond as it narrows towards it's western end). It's current form may be Post-Medieval in date, but may have earlier origins, possibly another group of large fishponds, as it appears to have at least three distinct segments.
Other more subtle earthworks, suggestive of small rectilinear enclosures. Again on a similar alignment to known Abbey structures.
