What is recorded here
Weir and sluice/overflow associated with the Royal Canal, built c.1806. Constructed of dressed limestone. Located to the southwest of Mullingar and adjacent to lifting bridge (15402709).
A typically well-built canal feature, which is a valuable part of the architectural heritage of Westmeath and the industrial heritage of Ireland. It is robustly built in fine stone masonry, which is testament to the long term ambitions of the Royal Canal Company at the start of the nineteenth century.
