Description

Cut stone elongated weir with on the River Brosna, erected c.1840, at the Belmont Bridge, diverting water to Belmont Mill.

Appraisal

The cut stone weir at the Belmont Bridge leads the waters of the River Brosna towards Belmont Mill. Though the mill is no longer in use the weir is still functional. Its size makes it an imposing feature in the riverscape and one that is associated with the industrial heritage of the area.
