NS33SW 23.18 centred 3155 3116
Formerly entered as NS33SW 68.
NS 3155 3116 (centre) A desk-based assessment, walkover survey and watching brief were undertaken as part of the development of the East Pier. Troon Harbour was built by the Duke of Portland around 1808 to allow the export of coal from Troon to Ireland. The East Pier was added c 1840 as a breakwater and later became a working pier. From the early 1900s to 1984 the East Pier was used for ship-breaking, after which it went out of use and became derelict. The condition of the site prior to development was recorded during the walkover survey. Minimal ground disturbance occurred during the development work and all features identified during the watching brief could be found on maps.
