Rectangular reservoir pond shown on 1884 and 1904 Ordnance Survey maps. It was presumably built when Stephen's Shaft was pumping water to adit and surface level. Fed from Stephen's Shaft by a leat, it would have allowed the murky mine water to settle and clear before being sluiced to provide water for the Morwell House pond and then the Morwellham ponds two miles away . Other details: Figures 7, 10, 17: site 8.
