Lateral canal, Clonaheenogue Canal, built c.1755, to bypass the extensive rapids of the River Shannon. It comprises two sets of gates and a chamber - Hamiton Lock. It was abandoned in the 1840s and a new canal and a larger lock, Victoria Lock, were built to allow the passage of larger steamers. These remain in use today.
