What is recorded here
In 1715 the south side of the channel below Ringsend was piled to provide shelter for shipping in the harbour. The early construction consisted of three rows of piles braced together and sheeted along the two outer rows with woven wattle hurdle to form a casing. This was then filled with shingle and stones to a height of 1.5m. (De Courcy 1996, 374).
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
