My map shows this to be Gledhow Beck but the stonework suggests a manmade structure can anyone help

Another photo, what was the point of this work

I have also seen this strange wall tht runs parallel to another. It looks as if a stream or river may have run down here or perhaps it was once a road.

I think it is to do with the water course as it leads directly into the second photo where the water today is a lot deaper

The bottom image looks to show a v-notch, which is a method of finding out the amount of water passing along the beck. The small cut in the dam is of a certain dimension, and the higher the water is pasing through the v-notch, the more flow, and because the v-notch dimensions are known, the flow can be worked out in the units of litres/gallons of flow per minute along the beck. The walls you show are probably to stop erosion when the beck is running high.

of course there are also the old buildings which seem like some sort of old mill.also, i noticed the other day that there was quite a narrow track, walled on each side and cut into the hill, leading quite steeply up into the woods on the chapel allerton side of the beck.
