NJ 9530 0531 Mearns Quay (NJ90NE 7.09), 19th- to 20th century. This overlies and probably incorporates the Torry Harbour Timber Quay, constructed in 1895 and extended in 1923 by the addition of a further timber quay. It was further extended in 1984 westwards into the River Dee Dock area through the addition of steel sheet piles. The site includes the underlying remains, the integral structure and some fixtures (eg features 17 and 18). This quay may overlie evidence of the settlements of Lower Torry and Old Torry Village (feature 14). At present the quay and the underlying archaeology appear to be intact.
