What is recorded here

Detached triple-pile gable-fronted boathouse, built c.1860. Pitched corrugated-iron roofs. Rubble stone walls with quoins, having section of render to central gable of front (south) elevation. Camber-headed door opening to front elevation, having red brick voussoirs and double-leaf battened timber doors with wrought-iron strap hinges. Located on roadside overlooking Clonakilty harbour.

This boathouse with its striking triple-gabled façade is an unusual feature in the landscape. The rubble stone walls, red brick arch and timber battened doors add colour and textural variation. It was probably associated with a coastguard station which was located to the east, and serves as a reminder of the former importance of maritime activities in the area.
