What is recorded here

One paragraph, two to four sentences, 45 to 110 words. Weir is a fish weir in County Dublin, traditionally tied to Clontarf and the bridge site now called Ballybough. It may have been stakes and wattle, a sharp line across water where men and fish were caught together. Nothing remains above ground, but the river still passes the place like a knife through memory.

There is a tradition that the Battle of Clontarf or the 'Battle of the Fishing Weir of Clontarf' took place at a fishing weir approximately on the site of Ballybough Bridge (Went 1946, 177). It was reputedly fashioned from stakes and wattle. There is no visible surface trace. For the battle of Clontarf see DU019-020----.
