<upd_detl>I'm not sure "pond" by itself is a good way to describe a naturally formed water deposit. A pond is usually artificial.


I don't think the "bank of a pond" sense is archaic. Smk has both senses and doesn't tag it in any way, shinsen gives [form] rather than [arch].
Note that the 精選版 edition of nikkoku used by online aggregators like kotobank only lists the first recorded usage, while the unabridged version usually lists multiple usages over time.</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>Shinsen: 〘文章語〙池のつつみ。
Sankoku: 〘地〙泥炭(でいたん)層の湿原(しつげん)にある浅い池。尾瀬(おぜ)などに見られる。
Smk:
㊀池のつつみ。土手。
㊁湿原の泥炭層にできる池。

The linked wikipedia article: 高層湿原が形成される過程において、堆積した泥炭層の隙間が水で涵養された部分ができる。[...] 独特の生物相ができる。

Also wikipedia: 池塘、地塘、池溏
Adding them as [sK] forms since I don't see them in other references
