The prefabs on this area of grass were cleared in August 2005. When it rains a large pool forms here (for quite some time after the rainfall), and as far as I know the ground wasn't water-logged previously. Whether this is due to compaction of the earth when the site was cleared or possibly also affected by the redevelopment of the neighbouring sports centre in which the car park now covers a much larger area and drains in this direction.
