In pasture 40m W of the Augustinian nunnery of Monasternagalliaghduff (LI019-026009-) and immediately E of the 'Summer House' (LI019-026005-). Depicted on the 1840 OS 6-inch map as a rectangular-shaped pond (approx. L 40m; Wth 10m) located at the S end of the formal garden of Old Abbey House. Described by T. J. Westropp as, ‘A most picturesque old fish-pond, shadowed by fine yews and lime trees, extends along the foot of the modern garden from near the “cellars”. It possibly dates from monastic times’ (Wardell 1904, 64). Google Earth Orthoimage taken 08/04/2015 shows the area heavily overgrown.
