Description
Cut-stone quay, built c.1780, on rectangular plan with roughly dressed limestone rubble walls brought to courses having stone steps and protruding rounded mooring platform to northeast and cast-iron mooring bollards. Surviving wall of medieval tower house to site.
Appraisal
This quay is a well-known and important feature of Lough Derg. Its setting is enhanced by the ruins of Garrykennedy Castle. It is clearly well designed and executed and retains interesting features such as the mooring platform and cast-iron mooring bollards.
