It’s on private property, so I can’t really divulge where it is or anything. What else did you want to know? I don’t know too much but could ask my landlord.
Only info I have is that it’s OLD. Their family owned the property before the civil war. Landlords mother (who is now in her upper 80s) didn’t know the pool was there until he found it and she spent her entire childhood living in that house. So I’d say the original pool was dug out 100 years ago at a minimum. I’ve had a buddy (R/Rva’s own Phat Wes) metal detect the yard and he’s found civil war bullets, and some railroad tokensZ JEB Stuart’s troops camped in this area during the war. Europeans met the Powhatan tribe for the first time on the hill. This areas wildly rich with history

This is the only photo I’ve got on my phone. Sorry it barely captures anything. If I get a chance, I’ll go out and take another pic soon.
