Quay or wharf in Ballynamanagh East, County Galway

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

What is recorded here

Irregular-plan limestone pier, built c.1860, having recessed parts. Slightly battered dressed coursed block walls, corners rounded. Grassed surface with cut limestone mooring posts.

The construction of the quay in coursed dressed limestone blocks attests to high quality stone-cutting and stone masonry. Now that much of the commercial maritime activity has ceased, the quay is used for leisure purposes today, and serves as a reminder of a time when seaweed harvesting was undertaken commercially.
