No more than a pond (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mere

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'no more than' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a pond' is the second definition.
(mere is a kind of pond)

(Other definitions for mere that I've seen before include "Pond - pure and simple" , "Lake (poetic); Maori war club" , "of no significance" , "See 13" , "Lake; simple" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
