The remains of Skateraw, or Skate Row, Harbour, comprising of both in situ and ex situ masonry, can be found amongst storm beach deposits on and around the HWM. The harbour was built between 1799 and 1825 by the owners of the nearby limestone quarry and kiln to facilitate the export of lime and import of coal. It occupies a natural harbour, between rocky points, with a sandy beach behind. It was equipped with a breakwater pier and is shown on the 1st edition 6" OS map (1853). It was destroyed by the sea between 1853 and 1892 and was not rebuilt. The remnants of the built elements extend over a 50m (N- S) by 20m area.
