The National Monuments Service's description
According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) 'upon the sd lands of Tyone ... standeth an old Abby a small fishinge weare upon the river of Geagh [Nenagh] runing through it' (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 251). A weir is located in a slight bend in the Nenagh River directly E of the S wall of Tyone priory (TN021-042). It consists of a band of stones c. 1.5-2m W spanning the river. The stones are strewn across the bed of the river and are c. 0.2m below the surface of the water. The water flows rapidly over the weir at this point. Access could not be gained as the bank is very steep on both sides at this point and is nettle covered.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
