Full Description
Dew pond (or sole pond), visible on 1st and 2nd edition OS map. Recorded during 2024 Kent Downs National Landscape Historic Ponds project.
Preservation:Whole pond clearly visible on current OS/LIDAR
Pond shape:Circular/oval
Site type: Dew pond (or sole pond)
Description: Pond still on current OS - LIDAR shows similar size and shape to the 2nd Ed OS. 1st Ed OS here seems to be wrongly mapped, so it's hard to see if this pond is older than late 1800s, perhaps tithe maps would help. Circular pond with many farmsteads around
