The National Monuments Service's description

The Civil Survey (1654-6) (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 291) mentions 'a weare uppon the River of Annor betweene the said lands of Ballenvohyr and the lands of Newtown-Annor in the Parrish of Killoluan'. Two weirs are indicated on the 1st (1840) ed., one called 'Eel Weir' while that to W is unnamed. Both are also indicated on the 2nd (1904) ed., again only the E weir is named. The Anner is fast flowing at this stretch. There was no visible evidence of either weir at time of inspection.
