What is recorded here

Detached gable-fronted single-storey boathouse, built c.1800. Now vacant and formerly used as store for kelp. Pitched corrugated asbestos roof with concrete coping. Coursed granite rubble walls with roughly squared quoins. Camber-headed door opening to north-west gable with rubble granite voussoirs and metal sheet closure. Boathouse is built into living rock. Rubble stone slipway to site.
This well built and sturdy boathouse is associated with Captain T. Hazell of Doon House and is a reminder of the former importance of maritime activities in the locality. The use of exposed local granite roots the building in its locality.
