Bathtub Spring ...
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.

More about Bennett Hill Preserve...
This 155 acre property was a gift of Dr. Jerry Bilinski of North Chatham in 1998 to the Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy. The hill towers over Clarksville, and stands only a short distance from the base of the Helderberg Escarpment. Although the top of the hill is only 400 feet above the surrounding land, it offers striking views of the Helderbergs to the north and west, and Albany to the east.
