Appraisal
This sluice is of considerable technical interest, having built to regulate the flow of the canalised section of the River Liffey into the main section of the River Liffey to south. Many important early or original features and materials remain intact, including sluices gates and the iron mechanisms. The sluice is of some social and historical interest, having been built as part of the planned Celbridge Abbey estate.
