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).
