Swan pit
A Swan pit is a water-filled enclosure where swans were fattened and eventually killed for human consumption.〔(New York Times article ) Retrieved 16 November 2010〕 ==History== From the Medieval period swans were kept in ponds and were a source of income and made acceptable gifts.〔Phillips, E. A Short History of the Great Hospital. 1999. pp 35.36. Jarrolds〕 Selected wild cygnets had their wings clipped and bills cut into a distinctive pattern bearing the owner's mark. An example of a swan pit can be found within the grounds of the Great Hospital, Norwich. The Grade II listed〔(British listed buildings ) Retrieved 19 November 2010〕 tidal pool was built in the 18th century and is fed with water from the adjacent River Wensum.
