    Just drain it away and it will be grand.

    The gravelM you mention above, is it natural pebble or quarried stone, I’d guess its natural and that’s collecting surrounding groundwater and bringing it to you. Drain it away and your fine. We get the same here all the time.

    It's natural

    Get someone experienced in to drain it off properly and you'll not have any further trouble from it.

    Something similar. A field that had an small area which was permanently wet. No obvious drainage problems other than that. Sometime later was looking at old land maps and noticed the area was marked as a pond. Asked one of the oldtimers and they said they remembered the pond being used as a water source and had been known as the 'calf pond'. A larger pond was situated in the next field which the local landowners had rights for watering livestock. Over the years the 'calf pond' got filled in. But as it was spring fed the area remained wet.
