What is recorded here

Quay or wharf in Rosmuck curls into a U, with its western side sloping towards the water. It has the posture of a man insisting he can carry you across a puddle, just as one knee starts making other arrangements.

U-plan quay, built c.1860. Rubble granite construction with battered terminus to eastern section. Concrete and stone surface, sloped to western section, with stone mooring posts. Replacement concrete steps to west elevation of east quay. Irregular rubble stone parapet.
