It is a sort of hill or mound at the top end of the land. It's possible that that could have caused the tunnel and the quarry to then collapse.
By the way, where did you find that map? I'd be interested to look at it

The maps are easy to access GH .. is part of the LCC services, but I just type in Mario maps and go from there. You can download a full manual on how to operate .. must admit still a beginner myself. On the first window that appears just put in the town you want ... then map selection, will then take you into this section of the map. I find you have to do the drop down again for 'Historical Maps'.
Re. the semi-circle ... was the quarry ... I have taken the up-to date layer off to make it clearer.

Didn't know about this covered reservoir myself until this week .. bet lots of people in that area know the history though and who it belongs too. Wonder if the stream involved is the one running off the stream from Dunnyshop then emerging to join Woodnook waters ?
