What is recorded here
Pier or jetty in Garranty was built for an earl, with an engineer’s carefully tooled finish above irregular limestone courses. Full evening dress from the ankles up; underneath, the stones are still arguing over who was meant to stand where.
Pier, designed 1823; under construction 1824; "finished" 1827; extant 1838, with irregular coursed cut-limestone battered walls having tooled cut-limestone coping. Set at entrance to Inishturk Harbour.
A pier erected for Richard Bingham (1764-1839), second Earl of Lucan, to a design by Alexander Nimmo (1783-1832), Engineer to the Western District (appointed 1822; replaced 1831), representing an integral component of the early nineteenth-century maritime civil engineering heritage of Inishturk.
