Duck decoy pond 200m south east of Marsh Bridge is a post-medieval decoy pond located in Lancashire. Dating from the seventeenth or eighteenth century, the site represents the practical application of waterfowl management techniques that were employed on estates to provide a reliable source of wildfowl for the table. The decoy pond would have functioned as an artificial water body designed to attract and trap wild ducks through a system of pipes or channels, a method that became increasingly common in early modern England. Such installations demonstrate the integration of hunting and farming practices within the management of country estates during this period.
