Description

Pont Pill Quay consists of quays and two projecting jetties, likely built in the early 18th century, although some parts have been rebuilt. The jetties are made of rubble stone and curve inwards to the north and south, enclosing a small sheltered inlet to the east, while forming a quay on the west side and the abutments of a bridge at the narrowest point between them. A timber bridge was added in the mid-20th century. The west side of the quay features vertically laid rubble slate stone, and the bridge's abutments have been partly rebuilt.

The creek is fed by Peaks Water, which flows down from Trefrawle and dries out at low tide. The quay was used for loading and unloading goods until the early 20th century. Additionally, there are two lime kilns located to the north and south of the quay. At the head of the creek, St Winnow, the patron of Lanteglos Church, is said to have suffered martyrdom according to Worcester.
