Description and History of Site:-
Remains of breached dam on Gill Beck. Remains stand about 20ft (6 m) at the highest point. Construction appears to be local soils with no evidence of a clay core or adequate keying into the underlying rock. Remains of upstream rock revetment and some stone-work probably associated with a low level draw off sluice.
Not referred to in the 'British Mining' memoirs for the Greenhow mines.
