What is recorded here
In the W-E Boyle River. There is a reference to a weir in this general part of the river in 1583-4 (Gwynn and Hadcock 1988, 273), but there is no visible surface evidence of an antiquity. The present weir was built in 1848 by the Commissioners for the improvement of the Navigation of the River Shannon. Any older weirs were removed at that time.
