The Lower Bann flows from Lough Neagh to the Atlantic at the Barmouth near Castlerock. Water levels in the lough are controlled by 3 sets of flood gates. This is a view of the gates (on the downstream side) at the Cutts (“Cuts” on OS map) near Coleraine. According to the Rivers Agency “Incremental adjustment of floodgates is practised, whenever possible, in order to minimise impact on the range of environmental and other interests associated with the lough”. The Bann was in flood after several days of heavy rain.
