What is recorded here
Irregular-plan harbour, constructed c.1800. Comprising two mooring quays having squared limestone walls with inset steps providing access to water, ending in concrete-paved slipway to east and cobble-paved pier to west. Cast-iron bollards and concrete wall to pier. Painted stone bollards to harbour walls.
This extensive harbour is indicative of the importance of Kinvara as a fishing village as well as being representative of the technical and engineering skills of those who designed and executed it. Local limestone was used in its construction. The harbour, as a group with the adjacent warehouse, marks the location as a centre of trade.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
