Gateway to dock yard, erected in 1853, and repositioned at its current location, angled to O'Curry Street, during the twentieth century. Three square-plan ashlar limestone piers with chamfered plinth base and stringcourse beneath shallow pyramidal capping stone forming two gate openings with mild steel gates. Curving rubble limestone plinth walls supporting mild steel railings to east and west are of recent origins. A commemorative plaque to one pier, announces the date of renaming the piers after Ted Russell.
This fine set of nineteenth-century piers have been repositioned and once formed a pedestrian gate and vehicular gateway. The gates give access to this historic dock yard which retains a harbour master's house, a fine Italianate clock tower and a graving dock. The competition for the floating dock was held on the 26th September 1853.
