The Old Sheep Dip
Well over a hundred years old, the farms would have bought the cattle down and blocked the river with wood slotted into groove in the stone wall (can be seen below the tree).
The cattle were the pushed in, cleaned and bought up the ramp we can see in the foreground.
It would be likely that humans drew water from the same areas? Sanitisation standards were somewhat different over a hundred years ago.
