Lake
The lake was excavated for a variety of purposes, including; recreational use, fish-farming (carp & rudd), encouraging biodiversity and provide an area for the reed bed sewage treatment system (18). It is about 120m long by 30m wide and 2.4m deep along the centre. The lake was naturally filled by rainwater. The lake’s level is controlled by use of a sluice gate allowing overflow into secondary pond systems (15), so that the lake depth is relatively constant.
