The pond has formed since the track to the now abandoned Auldcathie landfill area was raised and strengthened for heavy lorries, forming an artificial dam in the corner of the field. Sallows soon colonised the wet ground and Mallard and Moorhen now nest there. The pond does become completely dry during the early autumn and was actually ploughed for wheat during October this year, only to flood again in October as the crop emerged. See Image The houses comprise part of the Glendevon Gate development, the first of c.3450 new properties which will be constructed around Winchburgh in the next few years.
