Yes the monks cemetery is where they were buried. This was generally separate from the Parish cemetery. There were some interesting rivalries between the Parishes and the Monasteries over lay burials as there were fees which could be collected and endowments for the saying of prayers for the souls of the dead. These properly were the preserve of the Parish, but the monks would try to encroach on this service.
All monasteries kept fish ponds because of the large number of "fast" days when meat could not be eaten. The main fish stocked in the ponds was carp, which will happily eat any old food, a bit like pigs. In Germany and eastern Europe carp is still popular and eaten at Lent and Christmas. Many monasteries were too far away from the coast for sea caught fish to be brought in, and dried or salted fish was expensive. The ponds were also useful for the rearing of ducks and geese.

Yes, thats what a monk cemetery is. When making your diajram, be aware that, as much a possible, the grave should be oriented so that the feet are at at the east and the head are at the west. This i so that the bodie are "facing the east" (or will be when they stand up ajain, as the monk believe they will on Judgment Day), the same direction that the living monk face when worshiping.

I once visited a nun cemetery where the grave were oriented like that; the cemetery wa surrounded by a low wall, and just outside the wall they had buried all their pet dog who had died over the year!
