Archaeology Notes

ND39SW 18.04 From 31779 93770 to 31787 93915

A 147m long concrete pier runs out from the main N-S roadway into Ore Bay. Built by the military for the import and export of materials and gas cylinders to and from Rinnigil Gas Plant. A narrow gauge railway/tramway is set into the pier decking. The pier is unused and has the appearance of being in a dangerous condition.

Visited by RCAHMS (DE, GS), August 1997
