A hundred yards E of the ruin of Brunston Castle is a rectilinear excavation 4' deep, in which rise four flat mounds, c. 53' x 35'. The ditches average 22' in breadth, measured scarp to scarp, and are wet and swampy even in the driest weather. A spring is a few yards W. The S ditch appears to have been bordered by a wall of turf and stone. These remains are very possibly those of a fish pond.
