This weir lies to the SW of the Ironworks. It is arranged with the outer face of the arc facing upstream, and with a shallow-sloped face on the downstream side. Straight weir about 90ft long.
The local angling association have removed the centre to allow salmon up river, and in so doing have destroyed the structural integrity of the monument. Built for Carron Co c1812. Gravity weir across the River Carron with bullnosed ashlar shallow sloped face oin downstream side.
