Just out of curiousity...is it a natural pond or a dew pond?

Dunno , the plan is not too detailed and there is a suspicion that if it was natural it may have not been noted .

I've always been led to believe this is a dew pond, not 'natural'.

Apparently there is another temporary pool within the enclosure in one of the many 19th Century open cast flint mining pits atop the hill - it only appears when it is very wet!
