Square-plan quay, built c.1870, comprising battered rock-faced limestone walls. Recently constructed limestone parapet with render copings.

Appraisal
A fine quay, which was skilfully executed and is well maintained. Located adjacent to Charles Fort and the village of Summer Cove, it serves as a reminder of the maritime history of the area.
