What is recorded here
Leamaneh Castle kept a long walled garden where narrow ponds took water from a well outside the west wall. Low earthen banks divided them like small islands in green black water. They were not decorative in the modern sense; they were kitchen tools, measuring hunger in inches of depth and weeks of patience.
Situated just E of Leamaneh Castle (CL016-032002-/CL016-032003-) within a large walled garden (CL016-032001-). Two or possibly three long narrow fish ponds fed by water from a well (CL016-032004-) just outside the garden wall to W and separated from each other by low earthen banks or causeways. The most westerly pond (Wth at top 10m; Wth at base 8.4m; D 0.7-1.3m) is the most complete. The fish-ponds vary from c. 50m to c. 175m in length.
