Description
Stone lined pier surfaced with cobbles of varying sizes but up to 0.35 m by 0.15 m. Upright stone wall running N-S along W edge of pier. The stone wall has gaps and a new metal fence infills these. Along the E there is an old metal fence and S edge has a new metal fence. Approx. 36 m by 5 m in extent. 1 concrete mooring post at both landward and seaward ends of the pier, one metal mooring ring.
Pointing deficient throughout. Subsidence at SE Corner, some absent stone blocks also SE corner. Several stones missing from see wall adjacent to E. The cobbles at the end of the pier have previously been infilled with concrete which is now being eroded.
Comments
Replace missing masonry. Re-pointing. The state of the SE corner and whether anything can be done requires a detailed survey.
