Slipway in Scattery Island

Situated to the E of a ruined vernacular house on the E foreshore of Scattery Island. The slipway extends eastwards into the intertidal zone and can be traced for c. 55m. It is not consistently visible above the surface of the pebble beach. It is most likely contemporaneous with the mid 19th-century house that it leads to. Two other slipways are indicated and named on the OS 6-inch map (1923) at 40m and 114m further N. (Dunne and Ryan 2001, 12) The whole of Scattery Island became subject to a Preservation Order in 1971 (no. 1/71).
