Lock in the 1830s; consisting of a small schist apparatus, top facings & corner chains in granite cut stone, and mooring bollards. There is a system of lateral runoff channels, and a kilometer post. Beautiful alignment of lime trees upstream; alternating beeches and acacias on the right bank. On the 40-41 reach, at km 165.806, you can still see the old Pommeleuc quarry. http://patrimoine.region-bretagne.fr/gertrude-diffusion/dossier/site-d-ecluse-de-la-tertraie-n-41-berlaga-lanouee/0b447a43-3328-4107-8832-4e40ddfaf6eb
