The reservoir in its present state was built by a Mr Bairds in 1863, a Scotsman working for the nearby iron works in the village of Harrington. Damming the water at this relatively high point above the village of Harrington ensured water would be readily available to further production of iron and be used for cooling iron making equipment. Silt has recently been dredged to stop flooding which has attracted an increased variety and numbers of wildlife back to the area.
