What is recorded here

Rectangular-plan quay wall, built c.1780. Snecked squared limestone walls to lower level, coursed squared limestone walls to upper level, with batter. Integral steps to north elevation. Cast-iron mooring rings set in square recesses to north elevation. Boat slip to north with battered rubble stone walls and cut-stone copings giving access to water.
This stone built pier is a reminder of the engineering achievements which enabled the economic development of the local community. The well cut stone of the pier contrasts pleasingly with the rubble stone of the boat slip.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
