This little pond is possibly all that remains of what was a dew pond* 
when the hill was still on a drovers' route across the hill and down to 
Gloucester, the Severn Valley. It is now all but filled in.

The black dot on the horizon is a walker, not one of my dogs this time!

Thanks for looking and as ever your C&Cs are much appreciated.

* For anyone who doesn't know what one is - I have no idea what they are 
called Stateside - these were ponds where cattle/sheep etc could get a 
drink after a hard day's travel. Often natural, but also man-made and 
lined with clay to hold the water. They were literally filled by dew and 
rain and occasionally by a spring.
