Sea wall in Scattery Island

Situated to the E of a ruined 19th-century house on the E foreshore of Scattery Island. A mostly collapsed and eroded sea wall (Wth 0.5-4m) aligned NW-SE and broken completely in places. Although built in several phases, it was originally substantial and its stones differ in size and shape to the beach stones. It respects the steps to the front of the house and is likely to be contemporary.
