(Location cited as NJ 656 658). Harbour, Whitehills, rebuilt 1900 by engineers D and C Stevenson. The present harbour, of concrete construction is formed by an L-plan pier, with short retirn arm, and a long pier. The rectangular basin formed by these piers is split in two by a pier projecting from the seaward side of the L-plan pier. The old harbour, now filled in, was to the south and of rubble construction.
