A pond located to the W of Dysart House may have the fish-pond listed in a 1609 land grant to Sir Robert Nugent of Walshestown. In this year Sir Robert Nugent was granted the manor of Disert [Dysart] which included 'a castle (WM025-169----); a hall, and a stone bawn (WM025-169001-), with a lough, a stable, two barns, a haggard, 40 messuages, 50 gardens, and a fish pond in Disert' (Cal. pat. rolls Ire., Jas I, 196).
