The National Monuments Service's description

Excavations in 1993 revealed a number of walls (Excavation Licence no. 93E0131) (Henry 1994, 75). The archaeological finds from the layers overlying the walls indicate that the walls predate the late 16th/early 17th centuries (ibid.). Most of the walls were of similar construction, built of uncut pieces of sandstone of varying shapes and sizes and bonded with a very hard and compact mortar (ibid.). The walls may have been associated with the industrial buildings that once stood on the site (ibid.). All of the Old Quay was dominated by mills in the 1700s and 1800s (ibid.).
