Insignificant lake (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mere

This clue is a double definition.

'insignificant' is the first definition.
(mere can mean unimportant or trivial)

'lake' is the second definition.
(I know that mere is a type of pond)

(Other definitions for mere that I've seen before include "Nothing more than what is specified (4)" , "Simply, nothing more than" , "Lake, pond (poetic)" , "Lake in Cumbria" , "DDwater" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
