Full Description
Harbour, still in use, built in place of an earlier harbour. A harbour existed here certainly by the early 17th century though as to its size it is not known. Grants were made to repair the harbour in 1698. By 1794 it consisted of nothing more than an open-ended basin, when it was enclosed by the one pier being extended and another pier being built out towards it. It was not until 1825 that improvements were made. A natural harbour, improved by two curving piers, which with smaller later piers, form two basins and an outer haven. The original rubble works have been modified recently with steel sheet piling. Site visit in 2023 as part of the SCAPE Coastal Zone Assessment Survey noted recent repair work.
Period Notes
It existed in the 17th century, and grants were made to repair the harbour in 1698. The existing pier was extended and another added in 1794. Improvements were made in 1825.
