Glenasmole Reservoir, dam in County Dublin

What is recorded here

This reservoir is the lower of two reservoirs serving the Ballyboden water treatment works, built c.1880. Turf covered stone dam, stone lined reservoir, spillway with double-arched coursed rubble stone bridge over, and stone valve building approached via steel lattice bridge.

An impressive collection of structures with a unified design quality, representing the age of great Victorian engineering schemes and still in use today. Designed by Richard Hassard in 1880.
