What is recorded here
Limestone quay, built c.1820, having cut-stone jetty, and dressed stone back (south) wall, with rubble coping stones. Battered walls and flight of steps to jetty, turf deck, and circular-plan cut-stone mooring posts.
The construction of the quay in cut limestone blocks attests to high-quality stone masonry. Now that much of the commercial maritime activity has ceased, the quay remains as a reminder of the maritime heritage of the area. The dressed and cut stones create a pleasing contrast with each other.
