The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the lower reaches of the N-S Cloone River, also known as the Lurga River before it enters Lough Rinn. An estate map (Wogan 1750, 22) depicts an eel weir between Lough Errew and Lough Rinn. The river is now a narrow channel, and the precise location of the weir cannot be identified.
