I question the meaning of the word 'secret' when used in a newspaper. My
observations are that secret means the reporter didn't know about it.

I was going to map a covered reservoir round here that I've known from

paper suggesting the location is secret, though it's listed in
Historic England. (It's not far from a "sensitive government
establishment" that no-one locally knew about before it ceased to be
secret :-/)
Should I not map it, or pretend I didn't see the article?
How would another mapper verify this? I normally think that people
interpret the map only what's on the ground rule too literally, but in
this case, I'd suggest the moral thing to do is to ignore your local
knowledge an only map what can be seen, without guessing its
significance.
(There are some road signs entitled "secret bunker", e.g. for Kelvedon
Hatch, but I don't think this is the case here.
On the other hand, there used to be part of the North Yorkshire moors
that had "undefined" written over it on OS maps.)
