Full Description

'Decoy House' marked on map of 1791. The site may be near a present sheepwash (at TR02866413) or the former site of Rye Cottage (1st marked on 1819 OS Draft map at Tr 03496404). Decoy House, and presumably the pond, are marked at the centre of a rectangular field. Such a field survives in the correct area with an irregular rectangular cropmark feature at its centre. (1) Though pipes cannot be discerned this may be the remains of the pond (1), site photographs (2-5).
