No drainage ditch.

I'm guessing it's on chalk or limestone, so is 'self-draining'.

Cranborne Chase is all chalk downland

More from the Cranborne Chase. This view takes in farmland owned by the Rushmore Estate and in the distance is the Isle of Purbeck.

I lived for a while at Fellbach and would cycle to Schwäbisch Gmünd along the small roads north of Schorndorf and back from Schw. G. along the small roads south of Schorndorf (or the reverse), so I know where this artificial lake is, actually a very large retention basin.

So it's a fake lake.

The other way to do it is to use the image URL option (if you've uploaded it to somewhere else), rather than upload it to BR, then it's easy to right click on the image and display in its full unsquished version.
