Description

Stone weir, built c.1820, across the River Lee.

Appraisal

This stone built weir attests to nineteenth-century industrial concerns along the River Lee. Built to control the speed with which water travelled down river towards the sea, it is an interesting reminder of the potential power source the river was in the past.
