Dewpond is a pond situated in Sussex, England, and is recorded in the National Heritage List for England under entry 1002237. These shallow, artificial water features are typically found on chalk downland and were constructed to collect and retain rainfall for livestock watering, particularly important in areas where natural water sources were limited. Dewponds date from various periods, though many were created or substantially modified during the medieval and post-medieval periods, serving as essential infrastructure for pastoral farming on upland grazing grounds. The specific pond at this location represents a characteristic example of downland water management practices that remained in use for centuries across southern England.
