This was once the mill pond for Ballomill, a few hundred metres downstream. The stone-built dam wall is very obvious, and the 1898 OS map shows a sluice at the right side. The original route of the Ballo Burn Image was to the north northwest (left), but the current route is to the north, through a different channel, marked on some later maps as an aqueduct.
