What is recorded here

L-plan quay, built c.1880, extending into Cuan Chill Chiaráin [Kilkieran Bay] with store to south. Comprises massed concrete work to main quay area (east and west elevations) with battered east and north elevations, irregular granite rubblework with drainage apertures to south. Two sets of dressed granite steps and galvanised metal ladders inset to quay wall. Concrete to quay surface with single dressed limestone mooring post, iron mooring rings and recent galvanised railings.
This striking quayside was built to protect the local fishing boats from the ravages of the sea and forms an important part of the character of the small sandy bay which it defends.
