Description Remains of timber wharf or quay piling, view from north. The timber quayside deck onto which cargo to be shipped in and out would have been stored is now gone. All that remains are the eroded wooden piling structure that would have supported this wooden platform. The piling formation is still visible, with rows of wooden piles designed to give maximum compressive strength. Such wooden piles will decay naturally and so the piles we see here will probably have been replaced since the 18th century when the Kennetpans Distillery was at full production (prior to 1788).
