What is recorded here
Rectangular plan dock, built c.1845, of limestone block construction. Pecked limestone block coping stones to sides, and roughly coursed rubble stone slipway. Limestone mooring posts to east and west, with modern paving. Cast-iron gate/loading winch located to east side.
Sited in a prominent position on the east bank of the river Corrib, this dock displays fine workmanship in its construction. Clearly intended for very heavy loads, its presence is testament to the maritime heritage of the city, especially prior to the development of rail links. The dock now performs a social function as a mooring area for pleasure boats and tourist cruise boats.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
