A series of artificial ponds alongside the A57 and near Nicker Wood. The ponds have a system of sluices and overflows. There origin is probably ornamental and recreational as part of the private parkland associated with Aston Hall. They are depicted on Sanderson's map of 1835. Prior to their construction, the land was probably agricultural, enclosed in a piecemeal fashion. Legibility of the parkland is fragmentary as the ponds are still extent.
