Full Description

A large sub-circular depression circa 26m in diameter is visible in LiDAR imagery adjacent to three ponds plotted from the the first and second edition ordnance survey maps, and the Tithe map. It seems likely that this depression either represents a fourth pond, or perhaps indicates a slight inaccuracy in the plotting of the pond on the tithe. [1-3] This record was created by Cornwall HER for the Forestry Commission's Project K. [4]
