Full Description
February-March 2011. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of habitat restoration works on the River Nar.
This weir was located between the old bridge and the present bridge for the A1065. This weir appears to be constructed entirely of concrete with a U-shaped bastion having been built to either side of the river. It is not known whether this weir was part of the original water meadow design (NHER 44222). Part of a brick and flint wall was recorded adjacent to this weir which may indicate that an earlier structure once stood here.
See report (S1) for further information.
An archive associated with this work has been deposited with Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2012.227).
