Description
Ashlar limestone quay, walls and steps, built c. 1820. Tooled limestone steps to water front elevation, with cast-iron hand rails.
Appraisal
Built at the beginning of the nineteenth century, these ashlar limestone quays, walls and steps form part of an interesting group of harbour related structures with similar nineteenth century schemes on both sides of the north channel of the river Lee. These quay side structures are notable for their civil engineering value, and also for the skill and craftsmanship of their construction.
