0 / 600

Double-sided limestone pier, built c.1860, running from west to east, having dressed stone walls with flights of steps to both sides, and having snecked rock-faced rusticated stone storm wall to centre of deck.
The construction of the quay in cut limestone blocks attests to high quality stone masonry. Although much of the commercial maritime activity has ceased, the quay remains as an attractive and essential component of the locality.
