What is recorded here
Section of retaining wall, c.1830, on a quasi U-shaped plan comprising squared conglomerate stone plinth with base batter, single-arch culvert over stream, replacement concrete slipway, c.1905, to north, and rubble stone parapet over having concrete coping. Sited enclosing strand with elevated roadway following inner circumference linking lower and upper villages.
A prominent feature in the townscape of Dunmore East, forming the central focal point of the strand area. Constructed in a traditional manner using locally-sourced stone, the wall integrates pleasantly into the surrounding landscape. The construction of the arch over the culvert is of some technical engineering significance.
