The toponym, first recorded in 1241 as Beckermotes, is from the Old Norse bekkjar mót, meaning "the meeting of the streams". The intrusive n was added later under the influence of Old French mont, "hill".[2]

The hamlet consists of five dwellings. Population is six. Two of the cottages are run as holiday lets which, when fully occupied, add twelve to this figure.

Until 1974 it was part of the West Riding of Yorkshire.[3] From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Craven, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.
