Newlands Fish Weir is a post-medieval fish weir located in Anglesey, Wales, representing the substantial maritime infrastructure of the early modern period. The structure reflects the importance of fish extraction to the local economy and settlement patterns during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Fish weirs of this type were engineered to exploit tidal movements and trap fish during specific periods of the tide, requiring considerable knowledge of hydrological conditions and sustained investment in their construction and maintenance. The site survives as a testament to pre-industrial fishing practices along the Welsh coast.
