Technically I think this qualifies as a dam. The floodgates are just out of picture at the top, my understanding is there used to be an old hydro house atop this structure to provide power

Point A Dam, Conecuh River, Covington County, south Alabama. This is actually a unique marine Eocene epoch site that is located 90 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. It was once the location of a shallow water, saltwater estuary some 35 to 56 million years ago according to scientists. Prehistoric shark teeth, ray teeth, and fish teeth are found. Also shark and fish vertebrae and a few other items. The big prize when hunting is the shark tooth of the "Ric", or more properly...the Carcharocles auriculatus which was the great-granddaddy of the Megalodon.
Camera position is on the southeast bank and this is high water and not the time to go shark teeth hunting!<grin>
