A pond, formed by damming the stream whose spring is near to the old 19th century pit workings and spoil heap, and then runs north-east to help fill the lake at Coleorton Pool, itself formerly within the grounds of Coleorton Hall. Curiously, the stream doesn't show on the OS map, perhaps because it runs almost directly along a blue grid line. On emerging from the Pool, it does show, running north past Breedon on the Hill and Tongue, to spill directly into the Trent near King's Newton.
