Description

A rectilinear pool is cut into the rock of a small tidal islet known as The Gegan to form a harbour. It measures approximately 20m by 25m and is enclosed on three sides; the landward sides being heightened by the addition of coursed stone walling. A lip cut into the open or seaward side suggests that there may originally have been a sluice gate or barrier. A metal ladder leads down into the pool and winding gear is present nearby.
