What is recorded here

Pier or jetty in Cashel gives you granite stairs down to the water, all on the sheltered side. It’s a grand hotel entrance for anyone arriving by boat; arrive by wave and you’re told to go round the back.

Stepped rectangular-plan pier, built c. 1860, slightly raised to recessed seaward end, and having flights of granite steps to sheltered side of both parts. Rubble granite construction, with parapet to seaward long side. Granite mooring posts at intervals along pier.
This well built and sturdy pier is a reminder of the former importance of maritime activities in the locality. It may have associations with the nearby Zetland Arms Hotel. It is picturesquely sited at the most sheltered inlet of Cashel Bay.
