This site comprises a jetty that has later been converted into a fish trap. The earlier jetty is depicted on the Admiralty Chart of Scotland, River Clyde From Greenock to Dumbarton sheet, published in 1850. It depicts a jetty that runs perpendicular to the shoreline with a short extension to the east, at the south end. There is a ‘Pole’ depicted at the south end of the jetty. The jetty is annotated ‘Geilstone Ferry’ on this Admiralty Chart. The jetty comprises a low pile of rough stones that measures 130m from NNW to SSE and up to 16m in breadth.
The jetty has been later re-used as part of a fish trap. A linear extension of rough stone runs from the south end of the jetty for over 100m to the east, which runs parallel with the shore. The fish trap extension is depicted on the 3rd Edition of the OS 25 inch map (Dumbarton n017.16, 1918), as is another extension to the west of the pier, and extends for over 250m.
