A simple dam of granite blocks across the stream which flows down to the north of the path to the battery. A bench runs from a turn in the path along to the site for access, possibly also the route of a pipe supplying water to the cottages. Just below the dam lies a circular iron rim buried in the ground, perhaps a 'copper' or 'set-pot' from the cottages. Width 3.5 metres, across the dam, width of dam 0.5 metres, height 0.25 metres, length to the back of the pool circa 4 metres.
