This is the 10th lock from the sea. The water cill (step), missing from many of the locks on this abandoned canal, is still in position. The lock is unique in that it was floored with timber. The lock keeper's cottage on the western side of the Canal Bank has from the beginning been associated with the McVeigh family. https://www.guidigo.com/Web/Newry-Canal-Towpath-Tour/UceboJcGknw/Stop/12/McVeigh-s-Lock-no-10#
