Full Description
The earthwork remains of a roughly circular fishpond can be seen south west of Abbotsbury manor and north of the field known as 'Broad Garden'. This may have been positioned just inside the western precinct boundary of Abbotsbury Abbey.
The earthworks appear to have been slighted on the eastern side by the creation of a series of modern ponds not visible on 1st and 2nd edition OS maps.
