"A small stone pier east of Newhalls Pier (now Hawes Pier) was constructed at a cost of #587.11s.11d. It is chiefly used as a landing place for fishing boats and other small craft. It is by the side of a ledge of rock that was one of the old landing places before the new piers were constructed. The old mooring rings and bolts are still in the rock on the W side of the modern construction."
Ordnance Survey Name Book, 1855
