Description
Double-sided triangular-plan quay having rubble stone wall to north and rendered rubble stone wall to south, built c.1800. Circular-plan mooring posts to deck.
Appraisal
The simple form and lack of decoration of this quay attest to its functional nature. Now that much of the commercial maritime activity has ceased, the quay remains as an attractive landmark in the locality. One of several coastal structures in South Galway which indicate the historical importance of fishing and seaweed gathering in the region.
