Built to provide a head of water for Borrowby Mill which is half a mile downstream. The mill itself is Grade II Listed and was built in the 18thC so it would be an educated guess that this weir is of a similar date. Broad Beck that flows over the weir is relatively shallow for the most part, and is a collection of the small streams that come down off the edge of the Hambleton Hills. It joins the slightly larger Cod Beck at SE409 876 behind Brawith Hall just over 2 miles away.
