What is recorded here

Pier, built c.1880, having granite block walls, partly rebuilt in concrete, with concrete steps to north elevation. South elevation has shallow batter and is of rougher mortared stone construction. Mortared stone surface having drains with recent iron grill covers. Cast-iron mooring post and iron rings. Recent galvanised steel railings and ladder to south elevation. Conical rubble stone channel marker cairn adjacent to east end of pier.
This small and functional pier reflects the importance of maritime activity to this area, while the design with drains on the pier surface and its battered southern elevation hint at the ferocity of winter storms this structure needs to endure.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
