The National Monuments Service's description
The precise location of a Salmon weir in the townland of Court has not been identified. The 1654-56 Civil Survey of Limerick recorded that Gerrott Mc Tibbot Gerrald of Courte, an Irish Papist was the owner of lands in Court which contained 'one Salmon weare besides weare setts' (Simington 1938, 348).
