What is recorded here
Weir is a weir (regulating) in Castlelough, Castletown (Castletownarra parish), County Tipperary, Ireland. The Civil Survey of 1654 to 1656 described four eel weirs belonging to the lands of Castletown on the River Shannon between Bealanaha and Killalow. That account records the structure as a working part of the local river economy, while the supplied place information records that no visible remains were noted.
Described in the Civil Survey (1654-6) 'as belongeth to the lands of castlewtowne fower Ile weire on the river of Shannon betwixt Bealanaha and Killalow' (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 153). No visible remains.
