According to the Civil Survey 1652-54 'There are three weares on the River of Sewer betweene the lands of Abyneslewnaght aforesd and the lands of Gryenane and Kilnamacke aforementioned in ye Bary. of Glaunyhiry in the County of Waterford' which had been the property in 1640 of the Cistercian monastery of Inislounaght (TS083-017----) and owned by Patrick Goegh of Kilmanahan (see WA001-15----) (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 307). Situated in the River Suir, c. 200m SE of former monastery, the surviving remains consist of a stone-built weir constructed of dry-stone walling: a portion protrudes above water level. It is depicted on the 1st (1840-41) ed. OS 6-inch map where a little island marks the location where the stones are visible. This weir probably extended across the river to the boundaries of Greenan and Kilmacomma, Co. Waterford (WA001-047----) and may be one of the three weirs mentioned in the Civil Survey.
