020.05 | Mr Garland states that when he Cultivated the ground at this place he found what was before always considered to be a natural Pool, to be a carefully constructed artificial Pond or Basin with the sides very carefully puddled with blue clay, and about 12 feet deep in the centre. What could have been its origin is not known, it evidently was not for a reservoir, as the Luther Water runs at the foot of the slope, and would scarcely have been made at so much trouble for a drinking pond for Cattle on a moor when a stream ran past it. It is in a bed of loose gravel where water would not remain except the sides and bottom had been puddled. Mr Garland considers that it was a Test Pond or place where they "Swam or Drowned the Witches" in early times. It is a very conspicuous feature on the ground. There is no mention of this in any of the records I have seen. [Signed] B. Render Corpl R.E. [Corporal, Royal Engineers.] |
