What is recorded here

Weir is a post alignment beside Graigue Island where the Shannon estuary breathes. Twenty-six metres of timber or stone may have cut the water, forcing fish into shallow death while people watched from the clay bank. The tide still erases the marks, but the shape remains in the story: a line drawn across the river to make the invisible visible.

Described by O’Sullivan (2001, 304) as a possibly post-medieval ‘post alignment, oriented NW-SE, 26m long, on level estuarine clays to SSE of island. July 1994.'
