Sutton Rhyne Bottom Pen
This would appear to be some kind of sluice gate although why it is called a "bottom pen" I am not sure. It could be a shortened version of penstock. It is on the rhyne running alongside the Nythe Rd (visible on the left) and is part of the system draining Sutton Moor. See ST4234 : Information Notice Sutton Rhyne Bottom Pen
