The National Monuments Service's description
A stone built weir, built to resist floods was erected at the head of the watercourse at Balrothery near the gravel pits. The Dodder River was diverted at this stone weir and an artificial channel was constructed which carried the required water eastward to join the river Poddle. This was removed during road construction (Keeley unpub).
