What is recorded here
Sluice, built 1855-6; extant 1894. Now disused. Set spanning Cong Canal with unkempt banks to canal.
A sluice colloquially known as "The Regulator" (Semple 1988, 97) identified as an important component of the mid nineteenth-century civil engineering heritage of south County Mayo on account of the connections with the development of the ill-fated Cong Canal (begun 1848; abandoned 1856) under the Drainage (Ireland) Act, 1846.
