The earthwork at the left of the picture forms a rough 'C' shape around three sides of a pond. There's no indication on OS maps that it is particularly old, so it's a bit of a mystery. A possible answer is that it was a decoy pond, but it is on the small side for that, and at the largest scale the pond does not have the side trails that are typical of a decoy.
