This weir is at the north end of Loch Oich and across the exit of the River Oich from Loch Oich. The weir is roughly 150m long and comprises a raised embankment faced with dressed stone pavoir on its west side; the paved slope descends for a height of 1.5m over a distance of 8m. The slope is edged with a metal bar at the top and by a timber bar at the bottom. At the south end of the weir there is a gap.
