Monument record TQ 77 NE 26 - Decoy pond near Decoy Fleet, Buckland Marsh, High Halstow

Summary

Decoy Pond & surrounding banks adjacent to Buckland Fleet, on Buckland Marsh, High Halstow. There were curving arms at each corner; the south west corner was connected to a tributary of Buckland Fleet as the decoy had no water supply of its own. There was a sluice to control the flow. The four banks along each side of the pond served as hides for the men and dogs that used the decoy. Still visible as earthworks.
