Freestanding quay, built c.1860. Dressed limestone rubble walls with limestone coping stones and rubble stone core incorporating bedrock. Limestone flag steps set into east and west elevations. Gravel surface with tooled limestone mooring posts.
Located on the southern shore of Barnaderg Bay, this well built quay is a reminder of the importance of the maritime history of this area. The well executed design incorporating large portions of bedrock is also of technical and architectural merit.
