Description
Stepped rectangular-plan pier, built c. 1860, slightly raised to recessed seaward end, and having flights of granite steps to sheltered side of both parts. Rubble granite construction, with parapet to seaward long side. Granite mooring posts at intervals along pier.
Appraisal
This well built and sturdy pier is a reminder of the former importance of maritime activities in the locality. It may have associations with the nearby Zetland Arms Hotel. It is picturesquely sited at the most sheltered inlet of Cashel Bay.
