Description
Rectangular-plan quay wall, built c.1780. Snecked squared limestone walls to lower level, coursed squared limestone walls to upper level, with batter. Integral steps to north elevation. Cast-iron mooring rings set in square recesses to north elevation. Boat slip to north with battered rubble stone walls and cut-stone copings giving access to water.
Appraisal
This stone built pier is a reminder of the engineering achievements which enabled the economic development of the local community. The well cut stone of the pier contrasts pleasingly with the rubble stone of the boat slip.
