Nocton Hall Decoy consisted of five pipes on a pond of two acres in an ash wood of 14 acres. Immense numbers of duck were taken here 120 to 130 years ago. {1}
Decoy Farm is marked at TF095652 on the 1956 6 inch Ordnance Survey map; to the west at TF093651 part of a polygonal area is indicated by drainage ditches. A decoy is marked at this location on the 1824 first edition 1 inch Ordnance Survey map. {2}{3}
Although the woods are shown on the 1905 Ordnance Survey map, the area is now under arable cultivation and has been completely levelled. There is no sign of the duck decoy. {4}
