    I'm curious about this, seems the place has always been filled with frogs and newts etc. Coady's?

    Looks like they did all of the roadworks there and didn't disturb it anyway. I assume that must have been a stipulation or they would not have been so careful.

    I was up there today and they seem to have large green fencing around it. The pond itself was a bit in need of tidying (a traffic cone was chucked in it).

    I remember catching newts in it years ago and as far as I know newts and where they live are protected

    Same with frogs I believe too. An interesting spot nonetheless, I'd say so many Waterford people particularly from "the top of the town" have fond memories of going there.
