Below that rock wall is a "spring box" that collects water that is washing down the bank of the hill, on a layer of clay. As you can see from a previous photo, it works quite effectively.

This is a new spring that is located where the old sheepwatering bathtub used to be unused. Now you can use it to refill your water bottle.

On Saturday I went for a Day Hike up Bennett Hill in Clarksville. It was a beautiful day out, and signs of spring where all over. We first did some trail work, then hiked up Bennett Hill via. the Green Entrance Trail to Yellow Hilltop Loop to the Red descending trail.
It was nice seeing all of the green out this spring. It was not super warm out, but just right temperature wise. It was a short hike, but an enjoyable one for sure. All of the scouts enjoyed it, despite having just moderate hiking experience.
Here is map of Bennett Hill along with description of the hike:
