There is a small wooden boathouse (KTA02 380) on the raised beach on the W side of Mullock Bay. A narrow slipway (KTA02 381) made of parallel iron rails set between 0.5m and 0.75m apart extends into the bay for a distance of about 100m; its E end is marked by four earthfast metal posts, perhaps for mooring at low tide.
On the raised beach to the NW of the boathouse there is a small block of slightly curved rigs; these are aligned roughly from NE to SW and measuring about 4m in breadth.
