Description
Pill Quays and boat shed is a quay and boat shed built around 1760 for Daniell of Trelissick. The structure is made of slatestone rubble and features a long rectangular area with retaining walls to the west and above the quay against the bank. The walls are canted to the north and south towards adjoining slipways and are made of uncoursed vertically-set dry stone that is slightly battered. The former loading bays have been blocked with drystone rubble laid horizontally and are uncoped.
The boat shed, also constructed of slatestone rubble, has wide doorways on the north and south sides, along with two large buttresses on the west wall. The south slipway includes early 20th-century boat launching tracks on steel sleepers. The walling extends beyond the slipways to both the north and south.
