Ings land is designated to flood in periods of high water. Ings is an old word of Old English origin referring to water meadows and marshes.
This field and numerous other are still well covered in flood water adjacent to the canal. The fields are farmed during the summer as can be seen from the bale of hay left over.
The Pocklington Canal is a broad canal that runs for 9.5 miles through nine locks from the Canal Head near Pocklington in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, to the River Derwent which it joins near East Cottingwith. Most of it lies within a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest
