The almost illegible sign says that this was a Strathclyde Regional Council 'Reservoir Area'. The 1925 1" OS map marks this as a "Renfrew CCWW" site (Renfrew County Council Water Works). Now, there is little or no water and the area is covered in self-seeded trees and undergrowth. But the fencing style marks it out immediately as a former reservoir!
