Full Description
PRN 60300
Unlocated site of decoy pond. On South Kyme Fen close to the Holland Dyke was the 600 decoy, so called from the name of the farm. {1}
A 'Six Hundreds Farm' is marked on the 6inch and 1:10,000 os maps at TF207452 in Heckington parish, close to the Holland Dyke - could this be the approximate location of the 600 decoy? {2}{3}
