An octagonal pond some 30m in extent occupies the summit of a low eminence to the south-west of Floors Castle.
It was evidently built between 1870 and the early twentieth century, when the 2nd edition of the Ordnance Survey 6-inch map of Roxburghshire map was published.
As well as functioning as a reservoir, the pond also served as a feature in the designed landscape associated with Floors Castle.
