This dam controls the level of Craigshinnie Burn which supplies additional water to the Glenlee Tunnel (NX57NE 37.00) through the shaft NX57NE 42 (at NX c. 582 791). It is termed a 'weir' and 'pond' in the published account. An 'aqueduct' is shown as leading S from it, but this feature is not indicated on the 1979 edition of the OS 1:50,000 map.
