[1] Ewden Village is located between the Moor Hall and Broomhead reservoirs, close to and south of Bolsterstone,[2] within the civil parish of Stocksbridge.

[4] A timber built village was constructed to house workers working on the Morehall and Broomhead reservoirs.

[5][6] By 2008 a single worker's cottage remained from the original navvy village.

[2] Ewden Height is a local high point in the region at 375 m (1,230 ft).

[2] On the south side of the beck, upstream of the reservoirs and Ewden road bridge are prehistoric earthworks and other remains: there is a Bronze Age cemetery of around 30 round barrows, typically less than 3m diameter and 0.2 to 1 m (7.9 in to 3 ft 3.4 in) high, which are crossed by an earthwork 'Broomhead Dyke', around 1,200 m (3,900 ft) long, running roughly parallel to the beck; there is also a 20 m (66 ft) diameter ring cairn around 100m north of the cemetery.
