This pier and slipway, situated on the south shore of the Shannon estuary, once served an important function in transport and industry in this area and are a notable physical reminder of this history. The site remains in good condition and retains much of its original form and fabric, a testament to its original robust construction. A margined cut-limestone plaque is inscribed: "BEAGH QUAY BUILT 1904/JOHN HORAN M.E.M. INST. C.E./COUNTY SURVEYOR/MICHAEL NAUGHTON/COUNTY COUNCILLOR/WILLIAM O NEILL CONTRACTOR/JOHN DOWES FOREMAN". The cast-iron mooring posts are embossed: "H. LEE & SONS ENGINEERS LIMERICK".
