Weir set diagonally in River Dodder, c. 1775. Approximately 80 metres long set in three main stages from weir pool down to river, with an approximate drop of 10 metres. Group of sluice gates to weir and vicinity.
Appraisal
This weir provides a dynamic aspect to the river readily observed now that the new road and bridge passes close by. As little else remains in this area relating to the former mills and lades, the weir is a strong reminder of the former scale of works.
