It's probably wet as much because of the soil type as it is because of the location and the slope leading to it.

In the past I've had really good luck drying up areas like this by merely digging a big hole, deep enough to be well down below the heavy clay topsoil, and then backfilling it with clean sand fill. Put a reasonable layer of well-drained sandy topsoil on top of that and plant grass. In extreme cases you can top it off with some decorative gravel.

Once you have some where for the water to go, it will not stay wet.

Best of luck.
