It is a linear settlement, spread along a road thar runs close to the young River East Allen. The road forms part of National Cycle Route No. 7. In 1547, 'Dirtpotsheele' was recorded as a possession the Manor of Hexham. However, it was in the 19th century when a significant settlement developed here, associated with lead mining. It is located close to the site of the former Allenheads Smelt Mill. There was also a quarry nearby. The settlement is part of Allendale Civil Parish.
