The bay was constructed for a pen pond, see Image, for the forge, see Image Pen ponds were extra reservoirs of water released to fill the main pond when water was running low. There is another, see Image, a little downstream. Much of the bay's remains is amongst the foliage with just small rises on the ground indicating its former presence.
