NY 9043 6930. Fishponds 250m NW of Walwick Grange Farm. Scheduled RSM No 25043. The remains of a series of four medieval fishponds are situated on level ground on the W bank of the North Tyne. There are four individual ponds forming part of one system which nest together to form a single nucleated group. The two most westerly ponds are the largest; they are roughly L-shaped in plan and measure a maximum of 120m and 100m long respectively and each are 16m wide. They are a maximum 1.2m deep below ground level. The remaining two ponds are smaller and are thought to be subsidiary ponds for the breeding of fish. They have been placed at an angle to each other to mirror the layout of the larger ponds. They are both sub-rectangular in shape and measure 55m by 25m and 28m by 15m. A stream running immediately S of the fishponds is thought to have been modified and used as a water supply channel for the fishponds. (4)

The fishponds were seen as earthworks and mapped from air photographs. (5a-b)
