Aberlleiniog Fish Weir I is a post-medieval fish weir located at Aberlleiniog on the Menai Strait in Anglesey, Wales. The structure represents the type of tidal fish trap constructed along Welsh coastal waters to exploit natural tidal movements for the capture of salmon and sea trout. Fish weirs of this period typically employed stone or timber constructions designed to channel migrating fish into holding chambers or pools at specific tidal states. The weir survives as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw protection, preserving evidence of the maritime economy and fishing practices that sustained Anglesey's coastal communities during the post-medieval period.
