What is recorded here
Quay, built 1820, with coursed or snecked limestone battered wall having lichen-spotted cut-granite coping.
A quay 'lately constructed at an expense defrayed partly by the Earl of Portsmouth's estate and partly by subscription' representing an important component of the early nineteenth-century built heritage of Enniscorthy with the project intended to improve 'trade principally consisting [of] the exportation of agricultural produce and the importation of coal, timber, slates, iron, salt, and various other commodities, for which [the] river navigation to the port of Wexford [is] very favourable' (Lewis 1837 I, 603; cf. 15603156).
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
