Cadw's description
Location
Situated at NW end of dockyard, between Slip No 1 and Graving Dock.
History
Slips Nos 1 and 2 were added after 1841 and before 1847-9 when the iron roofs were constructed by George Baker and Son (Report on Navy estimates House of Commons 28/7/1848). The length in 1858 was 265 feet, but 1877 map gives 310 feet.
Exterior
Circa 1845 shipbuilding slip, one of 4 remaining from the 13 listed in 1981. Limestone ashlar sides with granite copings, concrete bottom. Battered side walls with two high steps (or 'altars') ending at flight of granite steps each side at N end. Flight of steps in each side wall. N end has slot each side for caisson. Granite coping in three steps each side. S end has been remodelled in concrete, signs of earlier lengthening in rubble stone.
Reason for designation
