What is recorded here

Square-plan quay, built c.1870, comprising battered rock-faced limestone walls. Recently constructed limestone parapet with render copings. Slipway to north having squared rock-faced limestone block wall with rendered surface. Rubble limestone parapet walls to road to north-east with solider coping, having square-headed drain openings and blind round-headed drain openings with limestone block voussoirs.
A fine quay, which was skilfully executed and is well maintained. Located adjacent to Charles Fort and the village of Summer Cove, it serves as a reminder of the maritime history of the area.
