Full Description
A probable decoy pond with moated island refuge. {1}
Island Pond is shown on the Bratoft tithe map of 1843 as originally being 2 square ponds with square islands, recorded as being fish ponds from at least the 18th century. It is likely, but difficult to establish, that the ponds were made during the period of Bratoft Hall (pre-1538) as they are common features associated with manor houses. {2}
