A group of springs is shown on the 1:25,000 map of which a few are shown here. According to a local guidebook they mark the geological boundary between the impervious Oxford Clay and the overlying Corallian Limestone. The water is channelled into the ornamental ponds shown in Image and eventually becomes the mill stream.
