At the top of the slipway in the outer of the two parts of Port Errol harbour, there are two concrete walls, built one behind the other and slightly offset in such a way as to block vehicular traffic up or down the slipway but to permit access on foot down steps between them. Both walls have a large sub-circular concrete mass at the outer end, perhaps to prevent the wall simply being pushed over. The concrete is carefully made and shaped, the tops of the walls being chamfered. It is possible that the walls are designed to prevent high seas washing up the slipway in the more exposed outer harbour, rather than being defensive.
