(Location cited as HP 593 011). Harbour, Uyeasound, 18th to 19th century. Formed by a straight pier and an L-plan pier. The former appears to be older, is beautifully built of drystone rubble and has an inset ramp. The latter is of rougher rubble construction. At the landward end are two storehouses, one of them now roofless.
