History: The weir was probably constructed c1750 by Isaac Wilkinson, as part of a water power system possibly serving a small mine in the vicinity.
A high vertical weir, built on a slight curve. Roughly coursed and squared rubble, with remains of retaining wall surviving to N.
Listed as a well-preserved example of a mid C18 weir, and as part of the extensive water-power systems developed on the River Clywedog during the C18 in association with industrial development in the surrounding areas.
