Description

Embankment, under construction 1834; extant 1838, with repointed tooled limestone ashlar battered retaining wall having lichen-covered tooled cut-limestone coping.

Appraisal

An embankment 'formed at an expense raised by public subscription' (Lewis 1837 I, 104) representing an important component of the early nineteenth-century civil engineering heritage of Ballina.
