No surface remains visible of 'Watch Ho.' associated with eel weir (LI031-050003-) on the Camoge River 115m N of the Cistercian abbey (LI031-050004-) of Monasteranenagh. Annotated 'Watch Ho.' on 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map where it is shown standing on an island in the centre of the Camoge River adjacent to an eel weir (LI031-050003-). Described by Westropp (1889, 238) as follows; 'There are some remains of a detached building near the Cammogue, perhaps a mill, though the country people say that a rope from a net in the river rang a bell in it when a salmon was captured. The neglected state of the ruins defies description, and calls for remedy'. No surface remains visible of this building or island standing in the centre of the Camoge River.
