What is recorded here

U-plan harbour on shore of Lough Key, built c.1810, with later section to the southern side of north quay. Harbour comprising stepped quays with random coursed limestone walls with cut limestone steps. Wrought-iron mooring posts and dressed octagonal mooring posts with domed caps. Bounded by modern railings.
This harbour, which is still in use, is located in an idyllic setting in the former grounds of Rockingham Demesne, although altered and extended over the years, still retains much of its original form and fabric and character. Located to the west of the former Rockingham House, it is an important element in the history of the demesne. Goods from the harbour were once transported to the house via a tunnel located a short distance to the west.
