Why was there a weir there? Was there a lade for a mill or was it for irrigation purposes?

What is a lade LR? it was a dam which supplied water mainly to the four houses, abbattoir and drinking water for the cattle. The boys used to love camping down there and fishing. The irrigation for the crops came from the river of which we had 5km of water front

A lade is a little man made stream that flows from the main river to turn a water wheel for a mill ...

Oh I see! no nothing like that there, just a pump to pump the water into various holding tanks
